Top 5 Cooperative Games
Zia Comics resident Game Gurus, Danny and Trevor give you their top 5 list of favorite cooperative games. Co-operative play encourages or requires players to work together to beat the game. There is little or no competition between players.
Cooperative board games generally involve players joining forces against the game itself. Usually they can be played without any player in the role of the opposition. The game is typically won by reaching a pre-determined objective. All players lose the game if they don’t reach the objective before a certain event happens.
In some cooperative games, one or two players take on the role of traitor. Traitors typically win if the other players lose. Some cooperative games might have an added layer of intrigue by giving players personal win conditions. In many contemporary cooperative games cards are drawn each turn from a deck of random events. These provide the conflict or challenge in the game and make it progressively more difficult for the players.
We hope a few of the games in Trevor and Danny’s lists were intriguing to you. You can stop in Zia Comics on any Saturday and we can demonstrate/teach the games to you. As always… keep playing games!
