Quacks or Harmonies, at least 20 times at this point.
Harmonies is not simplified Cascadia. Harmonies is like if Cascadia and Azul had a baby
It's good but I wish it has more interaction between the players. Most of the time we're just doing our own thing.
your cat has better taste than most people smh 🤣 Harmonies is a solid choice.
a really cozy game with beautiful art and surprisingly satisfying decisions. **8.5/10 from me, 10/10 from my cat.** 🐱

AI summary — not a quote
Sky Team is a highly-regarded two-player cooperative board game where players take on the roles of a pilot and co-pilot attempting to land a plane. It is widely praised for its tense, engaging gameplay and its limited communication mechanic, which effectively prevents 'quarterbacking' by forcing players to make silent, interlocking decisions.
Pros
- Excellent dedicated 2-player cooperative experience
- Limited communication mechanic creates high tension and prevents one player from dominating
- High replayability due to various airport scenarios and difficulty levels
- Well-designed, recyclable box inserts that facilitate vertical storage
Cons
- The 'crash the plane' failure state may be stressful rather than relaxing for some players
- Can be perceived as intimidating for non-gamers or those seeking a very casual experience

We're also really good at cooporative games--we have yet to lose a game of Sky Team.
The problem I have with Sky team (which I love) is that you spend a lot of the time NOT interacting with the other person fully. It's still great, and there's a lot of reading of each other's moves - just wasn't 100% what I expected from a flight crew sim (which is all about communication!) I would still recommend it though!
Sky Team - a co-op game with limited communication where two players assign dice to a special board that mimics operating a plane, including controling your tilt, engines, and communicating with the tower to avoid collision with other planes.
Most played: ... Sky Team
I don't know why they don't just use paper bags like sky team does
