About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a breathtaking experience in Sky Team, an exclusive cooperative game for two players where you and your partner take on the crucial roles of pilot and co-pilot of a commercial airliner. The mission? To safely land the aircraft at various airports around the globe, each with its own unique challenges and quirks. But here's the catch: communication is limited! You'll need to coordinate your actions intelligently and silently, using dice to allocate them to the correct spaces in the cockpit.

Each round, you roll your dice and, without speaking about the exact values, decide where to place them. Every action is vital: balancing the plane's axis, adjusting speed, deploying flaps, extending landing gear, and even contacting the control tower to ensure a clear runway. And yes, there's even room for a strategic coffee that can give you that extra boost to change a die's value, improving your concentration in critical moments.

The challenge is significant, and the tension is palpable. If the plane tilts too much and stalls, overshoots the airport, or worse, collides with another aircraft, the game ends. And it's not just the game that ends; your pilot's license and, well, your life, would also be at risk (in the game, of course!). From Montreal to Tokyo, each scenario presents new obstacles, such as unexpected turbulence, promising a journey full of excitement. Sky Team is a test of teamwork and coordination under pressure, perfect for those seeking an intense and immersive cooperative challenge.
