I remember wanting to be a pilot when I was a kid. It’s a pretty popular childhood dream—the image of flying through the air is inherently thrilling, plus you get as many of those little metal wings as you want.
Imagine my dismay, then, when a friend of mine (who was training to be a pilot) let me in on a secret: flying is actually really hard.
Well, that pretty much ended that dream then and there. Luckily, now I have a way to live out my dreams through the medium of board games!
Sky Team has it all–engines? Check. Wings? Check. Capricious randomness and limited communication between co-pilots? Check! …Okay, so it’s not exactly like flying a real plane, but I’ll just have to make do.
Sky Team is a cooperative dice game for exactly 2 players. It plays in about 15 minutes. One player in Sky Team controls the pilot (in blue), and the other controls the co-pilot (in orange).
