My wife discovered Sky Team, a 2-person cooperative strategic dice game where you land an airliner as a pilot - copilot team.
I was skeptical at first, having disliked cooperative dice games previously, but this one is a lot of fun.
There are meaningful choices, and the theme is very well executed, for a heavily simplified board game:
- extending gear and flaps increases drag, meaning you actually need more thrust to keep up speed
- turning to land with a headwind makes it easier to come to a halt before the end of the runway
We just got it yesterday and already played it 6 times.
If you are reading Mudspike and your partner likes dice or board games, get it! It’s widely available, at least in Europe. We just got it from the closest toy shop.
