Each player is given four wooden chips (or airplanes) of a color and one wooden shooter (or propeller). 'Airplanes' are placed onto the 'propeller' and are catapulted onto the gameboard by tapping the far side of the 'propeller'.The board consists of a box insert depicting various features surrounding a landing strip, each labeled with either positive or negative points. In the center of the board is a cup, which is the highest scoring feature and true target.Excerpted from the box:The game is based on the principle of an airplane trying to land safely without 'cracking up.' This is called a Happy Landing. - BoardGameGeek
