Sky Team
An exclusive cooperative for 2 players where one acts as pilot and the other as co-pilot. You must land a commercial aircraft managing tilt, speed, landing gear and air traffic — with almost no communication once the dice are rolled.

Setup
Place the control panel in the centre of the table.
Set the altitude marker to 6,000 feet.
Set the speed and aerodynamics markers to their initial positions.
Place the brake marker to the left of 2.
Assign roles: one player is the pilot (blue dice and screen) and the other the co-pilot (orange dice and screen).
Each player places their screen in front to hide their dice.
Set up the approach path with the air traffic plane markers.
ROUND STRUCTURE
The game lasts a maximum of 7 rounds. Each round has three phases: Discussion, Dice Placement and End of Round.
DISCUSSION
Before rolling, talk freely about strategy without mentioning specific values. Once each player has rolled their 4 dice behind their screen, absolute silence until the end of the round.
DICE PLACEMENT
Pilot
Places dice on blue spaces
Co-pilot
Places dice on orange spaces
Artificial horizon
Mandatory every round — the difference between dice tilts the plane
Engines
Mandatory every round — the sum sets speed and advance along the approach path
OPTIONAL SPACES
Radio
Removes an air traffic plane at the value shown by the die
Landing gear
Activates gear; moves the blue aerodynamics marker
Flaps
Deploys in order; moves the orange aerodynamics marker
Concentration
Generates coffee tokens to adjust a die value by ±1
Brakes
Reduces speed in the landing round; activated in order
END OF ROUND
The plane descends 1,000 feet and players retrieve their dice. If it reaches the airport level, the final landing round is played.
Victory conditions
No aircraft markers on the approach path.
All flaps and landing gear showing green.
Artificial horizon perfectly level.
Speed below the brake marker.
If the plane tilts too far, collides with traffic or overshoots the runway, you lose immediately.
