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.

I don't know why they don't just use paper bags like sky team does

Parent context: Fellowship breaks with that predictability because of the top and bottom cards. That and the addition of dice result in it not feeling like a pandemic game to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game and if you like LotR it's incredibly thematic. As such, I would recommend it to anyone. But it would not come to mind as the best pandemic game because, to me, it's not really a pandemic game. Reply: [No reply text provided in C010, but the block contains the evaluation]
This game absolutely nails the thematics!
Created a new board gaming core memory!
Parent context: Man i am 0-3 in this gam3 Reply: Same, 0-2. They do a great job of always making you feel under pressure and I have only played the first game and standard scenarios.
Highly recommend Fate of the Fellowship to anyone. Long, tense, and worth every second.
