Setup and communication: Two players use four blue and four orange dice. Basic Montréal starts at 6,000 feet and lasts seven rounds. Discuss the situation first, but never die values or conditional die assignments. Then roll behind screens and remain completely silent until round end, except to correct rules errors.

Placement and compulsory spaces: The altitude arrow determines the first player. Alternate placing one remaining die in an empty space, respecting colour and number restrictions. Each player must fill one Axis and one Engine space every round or lose; these four placements need not come first.

Axis and approach: When the second Axis die is placed, rotate by the difference toward the higher die’s player. Tilt carries between rounds; reaching or passing a spin marker loses immediately. The second Engine die immediately resolves the sum against the blue and orange aerodynamics markers to advance zero, one or two spaces.

Traffic and equipment: A Radio die removes one airplane from the indicated space, counting the current position as one. Advancing again with traffic in the current space causes a collision; advancing beyond the airport also loses. The Pilot may deploy the three Landing Gear spaces in any order, immediately advancing the blue marker once each. The Co-Pilot deploys Flaps top to bottom, advancing the orange marker once each.

Coffee and rerolls: Any die on Concentration gains one Coffee token, with a maximum of three stored. When placing a die, each spent token adjusts it by plus or minus one within 1–6. Unspent coffee carries over. Spending one Reroll token lets both players each reroll any of their remaining hidden dice once.

Altitude and the final round: After all eight placements in a non-final round, retrieve dice and descend one altitude space. An early airport arrival requires holding with zero movement; reaching the ground before the airport loses. Once both images are visible, play the final round. Its second Engine die must put speed to the left of the red Brake marker, replacing ordinary approach movement.

Victory and boundaries: At final-round end, clear all traffic, show green on all Landing Gear and Flaps switches, level the Axis completely, and have satisfied braking when the engines resolved. Deploy Brakes in 2, 4, 6 order; the basic game does not require all three. Fuel, wind, interns, ice brakes and real-time limits apply only when the selected scenario calls for them.
