We're not known for our ability to cooperate... and yet here we are, tasked as pilot and co-pilot, attempting to land an aircraft in different locations around the world with challenge after challenge making our lives more difficult. Kerosene leak? Part of the job. Wind forcing you to pick up speed? Nothing a little coffee concentration can't fix. Oh and PS., we can't talk to each other (but the rules say nothing about no-so-subtle looks of disapproval).

00:22 What it's about (Theme)
00:41 What you're doing (Mechanics)
05:29 Such a thoughtful production (thematically, physically...)
09:02 Cooperating with limited communication
11:40 Variability through modules (& real time mode!)
14:46 The occasion: easy to table filler for two
15:56 Our ratings & wrap up
Thanks for stopping by for our review of Sky Team! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
