Gate 53 / Gate B53 – Now Boarding Tips and Tricks
The Gate 53 – Now Boarding board game insert provides compact convenient storage for both editions (1st and 2nd) of the Now Boarding board game from Fowers Games. Due to differences between the two editions, we have 2 different versions of the insert
- Gate 53 – Now Boarding (1st Edition) is original version of the insert
- Gate B53 – Now Boarding (2nd Edition) has some slight modifications and adds in a corner lifter to help unload the rule book and other cards
Here are some pointers and answers to frequently asked questions:
Refer to the below guide for where to store all the pieces.
Storage for the Gate B53 version is identical, with the exceptions that:
- There is only a single sand timer in the 2nd edition
- The rule book / cards need to be placed directly on top of the insert, followed by the game board. In order to make it easier to remove the rule book and cards, place the white corner lifter as shown, before loading the rule book.
Due to space limitations, the engine area was too short to fit all the pieces. To work around that, store 2 of the engines underneath the cockpits as shown below.
