Sky Team is a cooperative game for two players where you embody a pilot and co-pilot silently working together to land an airplane. Players use dice placement to manage their cockpit, adjusting speed, flaps, landing gear, and other crucial elements, all while navigating increasingly challenging scenarios without direct verbal communication during their turns. It's a quick, immersive, and rewarding experience focused on teamwork and strategic planning.
