  • Black Orchestra is a great coop game. The major complaint that people feel is that the game is a bit too random since really your win/lose comes down to a couple die rolls. I feel that doesn’t take away too much from the game. It’s a blast.

    The Captain Is Dead is a pretty fun co-op game. I think the difficulty fluctuates a bit but it’s great for beginners since it’s very simple in what you can do. The enemy rounds go very quickly and setup takes less than a minute or 2.

    I desperately want to play a full series of The Crew. It’s a small trick taking card game where you work together to accomplish some goals. It’s the perfect game for me but I can’t find 4 consistent players. Very similar to Time Stories in that regard.

    For Time Stories, the art is great; the theme is great! I simply can’t find 4 consistent players. I feel you have to play this game 3 or 4 times in a row (maybe 1 night 4 weeks in a row). Our set of players fluctuates a bit too much.

    Dead Men Tell No Tales is a BRUTAL coop game. I don’t think we’ve ever beaten it. It’s super hard but we are gluttons for punishment.

    A Fake Artist Goes to New York is absolutely my favorite game of all time. It’s a 2 vs many game. Rounds are fast (5 minutes or so) and it’s perfect for drunken revelries. You need 5 players minimum. It’s a lovely “dessert” game.

    Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a very rewarding coop. You get to drive a firetruck around and save people from a burning building. It’s also got a lot of expansions. Some of the fire expansions rules are a bit complicated to understand but you’ll get the hang of it after a few games.

    I haven’t played it but Forbidden Desert seems to the best of the Forbidden series. I really enjoyed Forbidden Island and Desert seems to add just a bit more without ruining the base game.

    The LOOP has been super fun. I really enjoy this game. Lots of quirkiness, lots of prioritization. It’s easy to agree on what the most important thing is. It’s a whole other matter to actually do it.
