Sky Team

A two player coop.

In Sky Team you take the role of a pilot and co-pilot who must land airplanes. To do this you need to roll your pool of 4 dice (secretly) and without discussing after rolling, place the dice in the proper spots to clear traffic ahead of you, lower landing gear, activate flaps, prep the brakes and possibly make coffee (which is hilariously quite important as each lets you modify a die result by 1). 

There's a whole checklist of things that need to be done before you reach the airport, and there will always be two dice from each player spent on balancing the airplane and handling the engines. Run into air traffic, spin too far, land too early or land too late and its game over. 

Later difficulties also have you dodging mountains, handling high winds, watching your fuel tank which might be leaking and training an intern (who must be trained by landing or you lose) just because. It's a good game, but the initial (one time) setup if finicky, and the hard requirement of two players might make it less appealing than some other choices.
