I would be curious about your favorite coop games. I often find them a big lacking, often being a bit unbalanced. An example is Battle for Hogwarts, where one game can be a walk in the park and another absolutely impossible and rarely is there a balanced match.

I tend to like competitive games, but I like my coop games to:

  • be difficult, or have a difficult mode. To me, there's no fun in winning on the first try
  • to foster table talk OR a different kind of fun player interaction. That's why The Lost Expedition didn't click for me, it felt like just throwing some cards on the table.

That said, I enjoy Pandemic (a classic), Hanabi, Just One, and Magic Maze. I haven't really tried heavier ones but I'd love to play Spirit Island some day.

And for very young kids, My First Orchard is great!
