Dive! Dive! It's all hands on deck in this nerve-wracking party game of stealth and tactics. Write-and-wipe boards mimic various control panels of a submarine. Each team consists of Captain, First Mate, Engineer, and Radio Operator. The Captain lays a course and issues orders; the First Mate readies special abilities; the Engineer controls damage and maintenance; and the Radio Operator maps out the opposing team's movement to figure out where they are. As the Captains are forced to make increasingly difficult decisions, tensions run high, and discovery is inevitable but if your team out-navigates the opposing team and sinks them before they sink you, you live to fight another day! Play in real time to really raise the stakes! For 2-8 players; best with 8. 45 minutes.

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.
