Artifact Overview
Players "fly" from coast to coast, stopping at cities along the way, in E.E. Fairchild's Original Game of Zoom. Four spinners (Dispatcher, Altitude, Weather, and Radio) dictate how a player moves. Fairchild produced the game at a time when regularly scheduled airline passenger service was becoming more common.
