Sky Team
Sky Team is a co-operative game, exclusively for two players, in which you play a pilot and co-pilot at the controls of an airliner. Your goal is to work together as a team to land your airplane in different airports around the world.
Gameplay
To land your plane, you need to silently assign your dice to the correct spaces in your cockpit to balance the axis of your plane, control its speed, deploy the flaps, extend the landing gear, contact the control tower to clear your path, and even have a little coffee to improve your concentration enough to change the value of your dice.
If the aircraft tilts too much and stalls, overshoots the airport, or collides with another aircraft, you lose the game…and your pilot’s license…and probably your life.
Summarised
From Montreal to Tokyo, each airport offers its own set of challenges. Watch out for the turbulence as this could end up being bumpy ride! Sky Team received a lot of love upon release, even players who aren’t cooperative gamers like this one a lot. It’s a tight game with tough decisions and a progressive difficulty. The theme and mechanics play together well, although the non-talking part feels a bit off theme. Altogether the communication rules make the game really shine if both players do it correctly. It is very satisfying when victory is achieved.
