The 10 best Dice Rolling board games

Sky Team is a tense two-player co-op game where you and a partner must silently coordinate dice to land a plane safely—without crashing, stalling, or losing your license.

Strap in, because Sky Team is a cooperative game built exclusively for two players—one pilot, one co-pilot—working together to land an airliner at airports around the world. The catch? You can't talk strategy. Instead, you'll silently assign your dice to the right spots in your cockpit, balancing the plane's axis, controlling speed, deploying flaps, and extending the landing gear.

You'll take on the role of a crew member with a unique skill set, personal deck of cards, and starting gear: the scientist can hack computers and research solutions but crumples in a fight, while the soldier is your go-to for blasting aliens but might not be so handy with a datapad.

Star Wars: Rebellion drops you into the heart of the Galactic Civil War, where two to four players take control of either the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance. This isn’t a fair fight—and that’s the point. Each side has completely different win conditions, forcing you to adapt your entire play style from the start.
