Sky Team Board Game $39 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ OnePass/ $65 Order) @ Kmart

760

Sky Team has just landed at Kmart! This is a pretty good price for a highly rated game. It's currently rated 8.2 on BGG and is the 3rd highest rated Family game. It's a two player game but there are solo variants on BGG that I definitely want to try.

You may want to risk it and see if Kmart clears this at a cheaper price later on. They do seem to clear all of these board games at the end of their run. I already picked up my copy as I really wanted to get this game and stock doesn't seem to be spread around like other previous board game releases.

Sky Team is a co-operative game, exclusively for two players, in which 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.

To land your plane, you need to 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.

If the aircraft tilts too much and stalls, overshoots the airport, or collides with another aircraft, you lose the game…and your pilot's license…and probably your life.

From Montreal to Tokyo, each airport offers its own set of challenges. Watch out for the turbulence as this could end up being a bumpy ride!

    Thanks, got a copy with free delivery on OnePass.

    Not a bad game, but overrated if you ask me. Decision space is far too narrow.

    Sail is a much better quick 2p co-op game, albeit with a much weaker theme.

    • I was tempted to pick Sail up to take a previous order over a free shipping threshold but ultimately I went and bought other stuff. I have a mate who I don't think plays board games beyond Monopoly. I want to try to introduce other board games to them I think Sky Team's theme would help immensely.

    • Yeah I liked it, but it got hyped very highly for me and I thought it was "good". It gave me Wingspan vibes where the production values were high but the game was "good" so everyone said it was the best thing since sliced bread.

    Thanks OP - looks good. Ordered with One Pass for free delivery - no stock showing near me.
    Another box to add to my collection in the hope that one day someone else in the family will want to play!!!!!

    Yikes! The timing of this so close to those crashes in the US and South Korea…

      Could never release a game about anything, there is always a crash somewhere in world.

    Good game. Great replay value as every round is different.

    Does buying the game entitle you to status credits with the Skyteam alliance?

    Was going to buy but then saw its a woke DEI game /s

      Wait a few months for the new 2025 version. Reprinted cover has white male pilots who got their jobs on merit alone. Gameplay has greatly reduced risk of accidents. /s

      (Edit: just to be clear, I'm trying to be satirical and do NOT welcome this new dystopian reality.)

        Thanks I'll wait then - hopefully it also shows that all of the planes were hand built by white men and that no purple hair was involved at all /s

    • Does the plane identify as a plane or an inanimate flying object

  • Sold out :(

    • Seems OK for me. Where/How are you trying to buy it?

      • In Sydney, must be because they haven’t received stock yet

        • Maybe, even in Qld stock seems quite sparse. Some major Kmarts don't have stock (yet?). Today is the first day though so things might change.

    • It's sold out online, still lots of stock in store depending on your location.

      • Shows up online depending on the postcode you select on the top bar. Just placed an online C&C order for 3039 postcode.

  • Looks interesting enough for $39, solo sounds fun. There is an expansion for this too although not sold at Kmart.

    Is there a wild card where the president sacks the air traffic controllers and you fly blind for 4 years?

  • Can anyone recommend other two player games?

    I'm looking at getting this and 7 Wonders: Duel.

    • +1

      I can recommended Targi and Jaipur. I would also get The Lord of the Rings Duel for Middle Earth over 7 Wonders Duel. They are essentially the same game, but rules have been improved. However if you don’t like Lord of the Rings stick with 7 Wonders Duel.

      • Been reading/seeing lots of good things for LOTR Duel. Not sure when I'd ever be able to play it but I have price watches on it.

    • I recommend Santorini too! Other games we play a lot at home with 2 players are Carcassonne, Azul (and other versions), Verdant and Concordia.

    Lol look at the cover of the game, so woke.

  • Online order was cancelled :(

    • Same, classic Kmart. Sigh.

      • Seems to be new to Kmart so hoping stores get some stock soon but seem to be none in Sydney atm

        • Kmart's stock system is so indefensibly bad that I'm not sure how it's not their number one priority. Wesfarmers has other brands with a functioning stock system, it can't be that hard…

          • @hybridex: In some ways I can understand. At almost every Kmart I go to both the toys and kids book sections are generally a mess.

    • I ordered Mysterium, Dixit and three pairs of the house red underwear for free shipping. What arrived was Mysterium and one pair of undies. Baffling company when you go into any store and can get your boxers.

      • Hope you manage with just the one pair of undies!!!!

        They clearly treat online as secondary and it's a bit of a token effort. With Mysterium I also purchased that online (having seen the OzBargain post) and that got cancelled. I kept on eye on the listing though and randomly, I think about 1am one night just as I was off to bed, it showed stock again. I reordered…and received it a few days later! But it showed out of stock immediately after my reorder.

        Similar with Sky Team. My order was cancelled…then yesterday evening on a random check it showed available for online again. I grabbed it and immediately it went back to unavailable! Hoping I'm lucky again this time!

        • Second order attempt also just cancelled!

          Looks like I'll have to just wait for stock to hit NSW?
