Sky Team is a cooperative limited-communication game, exclusively for 2 players, where 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. 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. From Montreal to Tokyo, each airport offers its own set of challenges. Watch out for the turbulence, it could end up being bumpy ride! Game Mechanics Communication LimitsIn games with communication limits, players must work together while only sharing restricted information. This mechanic adds tension and teamwork, as players must interpret clues, timing, or partial signals without openly revealing their full strategy. Cooperative GameIn a cooperative game, players work together toward a shared objective instead of competing against each other. The group wins or loses as a team, encouraging discussion, planning, and collaborative problem solving. Variable Player PowersIn games with variable player powers, each player begins with unique abilities, characters, or factions that provide special advantages or playstyles. This adds asymmetry and encourages players to explore different strategies each time they play. Variable Set-upVariable set-up means that the initial game layout or starting conditions change from one play to another. Different starting arrangements, components, or scenarios increase replayability and keep each game session feeling fresh. Worker Placement with Dice WorkersThis mechanic combines traditional worker placement with dice-based actions. Players place dice onto action spaces to perform tasks, but the value rolled on the dice may affect the strength or type of action available.
