Overview

In Sky Team, two players work together as a pilot and co-pilot attempting to land a passenger airliner. Each round, players secretly roll dice and then allocate them to various cockpit controls. These dice manipulate flaps, landing gear, engine power, radio communication, and even the passengers (keeping them calm!).

The tension escalates as you approach the runway. Balancing the plane's pitch, accounting for wind speed, and managing radio chatter are all crucial. Players must communicate effectively (while adhering to communication restrictions) to avoid stalling, overshooting the runway, or suffering other catastrophic failures. Each successful landing unlocks progressively more challenging airports and scenarios.
