In Looping, players build a sequence of aerobatic maneuvers by placing cards showing side views of aircraft performing climbs, dives, and loops. Smoke trails on the cards indicate how to connect them. Success depends on dice rolls to complete maneuvers and earn points. The game ends when the plane safely lands, and the highest scorer wins.
