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.
