Sky Team: Learn How to Play
In this week's Games Made Easy video you will learn how to play Sky Team better, quickly and easily too.
Please support my channel and join my Patreon.
In this Spiel des Jahres 2024 winner, you play a pilot and a co-pilot working together to land your commercial airliner at airports around the world.
Sky Team is a quick and challenging cooperative 2 player game where you work together to keep your plane level, get the right speed, at the right altitude, deploy your flaps and landing gear, and ensure no plane is in your flight path when you land on the runway and engage the brakes.
Do this successfully, don’t crash, and come to a stop on the runway and you beat the game.
Tabletop games are really fun, but learning complicated directions and rules can be a challenge. Lavinia and Peter explain the rules quickly and easily so you get to play faster while giving you all the tips you need to get better.

Rails to the North, Great Western trail expansion: How to play and Tips
Dang…. This game has a beast of a set up
Excellent walk through. I’ll be using this to teach the game in future. Love your content (and your cat)!
Thank you so much, it’s very kind. Enjoy the game :)
Is it weird that I'm noticing your nails match the game dice of blue and orange? Was that on purpose?
Well spotted, I did it on purpose :)
Very good video.
Thank you very much! Enjoy 7 Wonders. I've actually been playing it a lot recently and it's a lovely game.
All the characters are black. I suppose diversity and representation wasn't important to whomever made this game
Love your content 👍🏻
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
I just subscribed. It’s so fun to see your cat. You have a great approach to teaching. Only recommendation I have is how to improve your audio. Many viewers will disregard a video with poor audio quality. Your audio needs compression and there is a slight room echo that distracts. You can solve both these problems with software, but I recommend using a lapel mic or directional mic. Use software to compress your audio and use the normalize function to bring up you audio to a level that is consistent with recommendations for UA-cam. I suspect -6 to -10 db with compression would be fine. Looking forward to following your channel. Even without any audio improvements, you’re still a superstar.
Thank you so much for the sub; Peter is very funny :) I completely agree with the audio, and you have no idea how much I appreciate your comment because I have been struggling to make it work. I've tried so many things and it's not right, I use Premiere Pro and the Mic I currently have is Blue Yeti. I’ve tried to reduce the peaks, in Audi Gain by more than -5 but then it’s very low. Maybe I’d add more gain on my mic. I’ve also played with audio special filters, but it ends up sounding weird. Is there any simple setup you can recommend? Thank you again for the advise.
It is always a great pleasure to watch your videos. High quality explanations with such a delightful attitude. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much! It’s very kind.
She is trying an American accent which is terrible
15k subscribers? You deserve 15 million! I’ve watched you for a few months, and your videos are an absolute must for anyone who likes board games!
Thank you, that's so kind. I am so happy it's been useful.
I subbed the very first time I found one of your vids 👍 Great channel!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it.
Very well done! Best how to play video I’ve seen on here.
Thank you so much, I’m glad it was useful. Enjoy Ark Nova, it’s a great game.
Best explanation I've got! Thank you so so much!!
I’m so happy it helped, you’re very welcome. I hope you enjoyed the game. Lost Ruins of Arnak is much loved in our house :)
I really enjoy your clear explanations and delivery. Great work!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad it’s helped. Enjoy Lost Ruins of Arnak :)
❤ Peter in a box.
Thank you! Me too :)
Thanks. I love boardgames and cats.
You’re welcome. I also love board games and cats :)
I love that you actually do the actions as you're explaining them. It makes it a lot easier for me to understand. But I'm still confused about how train stations work, so I must be an idiot 😭 I don't know what they actually do. Do they 'steal' a route that another player has claimed?
Thank you so much! The train stations can be a bit confusing. The train stations essentially gives you access to a city that is already be closed off by other players. It lets you finish the destination ticket by using another players route. You don’t get points when you place it but allows you to get the destination ticket points. Players who don’t use the stations get points for each of them at the end of the game. It’s something you use when you absolutely need to complete ticket/s. I hope this clarifies :)
Great explainer!! Thanks so much!
Thank you! Enjoy the expansion :)
Question about Haunt 32 on special edition 3. When referring to the traitors new traits given via the traitors tome, how do you calculate these new numerical values with the character board if the character is considered “dead”? When attacking the bakenecko and they lose the fight do they lower their numerical value of the bakenecko’s traits or from something else such as a character board?
Hey, sorry for the delay. When playing as the Bakeneko and you lose the fight, you lower the Bakeneko's traits.
I want that mat. ❤
It’s very cool. I bought it directly from the publisher as I couldn’t find it in stores.
I love your Channel
Thank you so much, it’s very kind. Enjoy Everdell :)
@@GamesMadeEasy it's an amazing game played it for the first time today and it's really one of my favourites already
Yes, I love it too. I still need to play the expansions.
@@GamesMadeEasy I wanna intro it to more people before I buy expansions but If it goes over well at my club I'm in
Thank you VERY much for your easy explanation of Ticket To Ride Europe. We were having difficulties trying to understand how the playing of cards for tunnels worked. 🙂
I’m so glad it was useful, and could help you with the tunnels. Enjoy Ticket to Ride Europe, it’s a lovely game.
I am confused how your accent keeps seeming to change from one ethnicity to another, or disappear completely. Nice video tho.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked the video. I was taught English and Spanish since I was quite young and I’ve lived in places where people have different accents, that may contribute to the mix :)
Could you do a video combining catan, sea farers, cities and knights and also traders and barbarians? (I really enjoy your videos, also was wondering your thoughts on catan treasures, dragons and adventurers?)
Hello! I’ve been meaning to do an epic Catan but it’s not easy to find the rules combining all. I recently bought a copy of Catan Treasures, Dragons and Adventures, I will be playing it soon and I’ll let you know.
Love the cat
Thank you! He was very active in this video 😊
@@GamesMadeEasy I have a friend who has an empty game box. He puts it out for the cat before we try to set up any game.
I have 3 cats and they all like different boxes :)
Love your videos, thank you 😊
Thank you so much!
Good video, but the audio is very quite, hard to hear :(
Nothing wrong with audio, clear and right volume for me. Maybe it's your device ;)
@@neilwalker4277it’s ok without headphones, but with headphones a bit quiet 😢
I’m sorry to hear but thank you for letting me know. I will have a look for future videos.
Great video as usual!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation. Everything was on point and super easy to understand. P. S. Cat is an amazing actor - complete resemblance of a statue! Has he ever considered Hollywood? 🗿❤️
I’m so glad it was useful, it’s a great game. I agree Peter is a remarkable actor. As soon as I start setting up, he knows and he’s there in the box ready 😊 Enjoy Splendor Duel!
I've got a random question, non game related (lol). Are you an english speaking person that learned spanish? Or a spanish speaking person that learned english? Or..... was brought up with one english speaking parent and one spanish speaking parent? I only ask because I love your engish accent, and you speak spanish very well, so im just ciurious. I've seen most of your videos and I loved them, I am a very big fan of Catan, and hence, all of your Catan videos! Thank you!
Hi! Thank you so much, I’m so glad you like the Catan videos, I love Catan too. You are correct, I have one English speaking parent and one Spanish speaking parent, I learnt both from a young age.
Nice vid, thank you. Just got the expansion today and looking forward to trying it out :)
Thank you so much! Did you enjoy the game?
@@GamesMadeEasy Unfortunately the water tiles were missing, but the person I bought it off had mistakenly put them in another box, so I still need to pick them up! Hopefully I'll get to try it this weekend :)
Glad you got the missing tiles.
Buen video, aún no me decidía por esta expansión
Muchas gracias! Es similar al juego base, añade más pájaros. Has visto las otras expansiones? Oceanía introduce el néctar.
@@GamesMadeEasy siii, Gracias por tus reseñas, ya tengo Oceania y asía.
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
You're adorable
Aw thank you! ☺️
@@GamesMadeEasy You're welcome
Poor cat can’t sleep
He loves the box actually :)
Great instructions! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Enjoy King of Tokyo :)
Is it better with two or three or four players? Or does that not really factor in to how to play.
I find it’s good at all player counts. Enjoy! ☺️
Amazing clear video from the sis. Well done
Thank you so much! Enjoy Seafarers :)
Gracias por tu vídeo, tengo sesión el sábado
Un placer! Deseando que la pasen muy bien :)
Great video, I learned a lot. Can't wait to still ask "what do we do?" later on today.
Thank you! I hope it goes well. With betrayal there is usually that moment of “what do we do” :)
This is a great explanation! thans pete
Thank you so much. Enjoy Cities & Knights :)
Hi Lavinia, always very clear explanations. I'd like to see a video about that attractive Star Wars Rebellion box I always see in the background. Many thanks!
Hello! Star Wars Rebellion is in my list, but I’ve been sidetracked with other games :) thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
@@GamesMadeEasyI'm looking forward to it 😀
Your explanation is the best I've seen.... The fact that you have a cat supervising.... EPIC!!!
Thank you so much, it’s very kind. It’s a lovely game. Peter is always keeping an eye on the game 😂
And the supervising cat sits in a boardgame box. More Epic.
Michiiiiiiiiii que yindo !!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Gracias!
Excellent guide. The best I've found (and I look for a quite a few!). Thanks.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the comment. I like this game, a lot of love went into the video :)
My cat's name is Peter
Haha :) I always knew I would meet someone who also has a cat named Peter. How does your Peter look like?
I just have something to say. I want to play with you and Peter on the table. ❤ thank you.
Aw thank you, that’s very kind :) I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
