Awarded annually in Berlin since 1978, the Spiel des Jahres, German for “Game of the Year”, is the most important prize in the world of board games. It rewards the best game of the year, and was given this Sunday, July 21 to Le Scorpion masqué team for the Sky Team game.

About the board game:

Sky Team is a game by Luc Rémond, illustrated by Eric Hibbeler and Adrien Rives, published by >Le Scorpion Masqué and distributed by Blackrock Games.

Sky Team is a cooperative game, exclusively for 2 players, where you play a pilot and co-pilot at the controls of an airliner. Your goal is to work together as a team to land your airplane in different airports around the world. Silently assign your dice to the correct spaces in your cockpit to balance the axis of your plane, control its speed, deploy the flaps, extend the landing gear, contact the control tower to clear your path, and even have a little coffee to improve your concentration enough to change the value of your dice.
From Montreal to Tokyo, discover 11 airports and 21 exciting scenarios inspired by real landing conditions. Wind, kerosene, leaks, traffic, ice... Each airport comes with its own set of challenges! Watch out for the turbulence, it could end up being bumpy ride!
