Category Description for Cooperative Games
We play a lot of board games in our family - mostly competitive ones! However, it's nice to switch up game night and play a cooperative game where all of the players are working together toward a goal, collectively save the world, or solve a mystery. Cooperative games foster team spirit and give players a chance to use their individual talents as everyone works toward achieving a goal. If you haven't tried this alternative to playing together, here's an assortment of cooperative games for all ages.
Category Description for Pandemic Game
If you think cooperative games are just for kids, this brilliant game will change your mind! 2-4 players work together as members of a highly skilled task force as they try to cure four infectious diseases spreading throughout the different regions of the world. Each player may perform four actions per turn including treating a disease, traveling to another city, or passing a card to another player. Randomly chosen role cards assign occupations to each team member at the beginning of the game and provide different advantages to the basic actions, based on the unique skill set of that member. With outbreaks looming and epidemics increasing the rate of infection at unknown intervals, you'll need seamless teamwork and careful planning in order to discover the cures and save the world. Built-in features such as random shuffling, five different role cards, and a flexible amount of epidemic cards provide a different game every time and allow for easier to harder levels of play. A very cleverly designed game that will take all your wits and may still beat you! Expansions require the Pandemic (#034499) base game to play.
