The hit of Gen Con 2023 wins the Spiel des Jahres<\/p>\n
Nearly a full year after sticking the landing at Gen Con in Indianapolis, Sky Team<\/em> has won the Spiel des Jahres, the prestigious German award given to the best board game of the year. The announcement, made Sunday in a blog post<\/a>, formally welcomes the hit cooperative game to the ranks of modern classics such as Catan<\/em>, Carcassonne<\/em>, and Ticket to Ride<\/em>.<\/p>\n In Sky Team<\/em>, players take on the role of the pilot and co-pilot of a large airliner trying to land their fully-laden plane on the runway. The roughly 20-minute experience is full of delightful tension, as players battle the elements and jockey with other planes for priority to land at one of dozens of international airports.<\/p>\n \u201cSky Team<\/em> is impressive from take-off to landing in terms of gameplay, atmosphere and theme,\u201d said the jury<\/a>. \u201cThe short rounds can be very rewarding if you win and if you miss the landing, you will want to try again straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n Publisher Le Scorpion Masqu\u00e9<\/a> has been on a bit of a roll these past few years, with its 2022 hit Turing Machine<\/em><\/a> also pulling down several notable industry awards. The studio is also known for Decrypto<\/em><\/a>, which holds a place of prominence on Polygon\u2019s list of the best board games<\/a>. Given the sudden interest, know that Sky Team<\/em> is seemingly in short supply at some retailers. While your local game store likely has a copy alongside the new expansion, Sky Team: Turbulence<\/em><\/a>, we also found the core game currently available at Barnes & Noble<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Image: Le Scorpion Masqu\u00e9\/Hachette The hit of Gen Con 2023 wins the Spiel des Jahres Nearly a full year after sticking the landing at Gen Con in Indianapolis, Sky Team has won the Spiel des Jahres, the prestigious German award given to the best board game of the year.
