Luc Rémond’s Spiel des Jahres-winning board game Sky Team will give you a new appreciation for just how tricky it is to land a plane, or maybe exacerbate your fear of flying. There are so many ways for the two people taking on the role of pilot and co-pilot to fail, whether crashing into other planes in the air, overshooting the airport, or failing to properly deploy their landing gear — and that’s when they’re flying in good weather!
Luckily, Sky Team eases you into the challenges by using one rulebook to teach all the basics and then a second to parse out additional rules so you can add on complexity. You might get cocky after a few good landings, but having to track kerosene or land on an icy runway will humble you quickly. The good thing is scenarios only take about 20 minutes, so if you fail you can easily try again.
