Games Like Pan Am in 2026
Pan Am puts you in charge of a fledgling airline competing against the growing Pan American World Airways: you buy routes, buy planes, and buy stock in the company that keeps swallowing your territory. Papaeya carries the original Funko Games edition, currently sold out, but if you're waiting for it to come back, or you already own it and want more of the same feeling, here are games that share its route-building and investment DNA.
OpenSky
Players: 2-4 | Age: 14+ | Duration: ~30 minutes | Price: from €25
The closest thing to Pan Am's route-and-price tension in a much shorter game. You run a low cost carrier fighting for passengers and airport subsidies on a dual Europe/North America map, setting fares low enough to win seats without giving away your margin. No stock market here, but the same instinct to undercut a rival at the right moment.
Airlines Europe
Players: 2-5 | Age: 10+ | Duration: ~75 minutes
This is the one that plays most like Pan Am. Alan R. Moon's 2011 redesign of his earlier game Airlines has you growing airline networks across Europe and holding shares in them, exactly the loop Pan Am builds around its own airline. The bigger a network gets, the more its stock pays out.
Chicago Express
Players: 2-6 | Age: 12+ | Duration: ~60-90 minutes
Swap planes for trains and you get Chicago Express. Designed by Harry Wu and published by Queen Games in 2007, it drops the aviation theme entirely but keeps Pan Am's core idea: you're an investor buying shares in competing railroad companies, and the value of your shares depends on how far the tracks expand. It's a tighter, sharper version of the same stock-and-network puzzle.
Ticket to Ride
Players: 2-5 | Age: 8+ | Duration: 30-60 minutes
If Pan Am's stock market feels like a lot, Ticket to Ride keeps the route-building and drops everything else. Alan R. Moon's 2004 classic for Days of Wonder has you claiming railway routes across North America and completing destination tickets, no bidding, no shares, just a race to connect cities before your opponents do.
Which one to try first
If you liked Pan Am for the stock market as much as the routes, Airlines Europe or Chicago Express will feel most familiar. If it was the route-building you enjoyed, OpenSky gets you back to the table in half the time, and Ticket to Ride is the easiest to teach to someone new.
