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.

Frosthaven/Gloomhaven. They're co-op, but all of the hidden information stuff stop other players from influencing your turns too much.

Absolutely wonderful games!

I've heard good things about Glomhaven and I think one of our group has that on the shelf. We'll have to give that a try!

It's pretty rough in terms of rules and setup takes a while, but it's so worth it.

I play frosthaven on a weekly basis and sacrifice most of my boardgame time to playing it.

I completely agree. Both of the problems you mention are solved in Jaws of the Lion, so I would recommend any newbie to start with that.

Never played JOTL. to be fair, I think frosthaven went overboard on mission complexity and overhead.

I'm buying GH2, so that should scratch the itch in 2024 when we're done with FH. I only played about 10 scenarios of GH1.
