What Are Your Favorite Cooperative Games? (midwest.social)

I'm interested in hearing what cooperative games people are playing, old or new. My group has had Bloc by Bloc out on the table a few times. That is pretty fun for us, but I'm wanting to add some more cooperative titles to the library.

Spirit Island is probably our biggest mainstay at the moment. One of our group has most of the content and I'm still only about halfway through playing every spirit we have. The replayability is just amazing and the pacing is beautiful, hitting you hard in the early game and then slowly you turn the tide. Not to mention some of the spirits are just so doggamn satisfying to play.

We're also pretty big into Aeon's End. I completely hated this game in the beginning because I couldn't see how you could possibly win. Once it clicked and we began to get better, it became a lot more satisfying to play.

We also played through and enjoyed all Legends of Andor, all Pandemic Legacy, Mechs vs Minions and Gloomhaven.

I just got Spirit Island and played the intro scenario with my group and we are all itching to try again with different spirits and the full ruleset. It's a really engaging and complex puzzle with an enormous number of emergent strategies.

We are excited for a bigger challenge; the intro scenario felt very easy to us.
