Best Coop Boardgames? (feddit.de)

I would be curious about your favorite coop games. I often find them a big lacking, often being a bit unbalanced. An example is Battle for Hogwarts, where one game can be a walk in the park and another absolutely impossible and rarely is there a balanced match.

  • Arkham Horror
  • Legends of Andor
  • Escape Room games

I think Andor suffers from overanalysis. Precalculating the entire AI turn is complicated but absolutely necessary. This slows the game down and at least personally I don't find it fun.

I love Arkham Horror, sadly my gf is not that much into the whole story telling part. I am still holding onto my copy even though we have not touched the game in 2 years.

I have not tried Escape Room games, but I am not that much enticed by Escape Rooms in general. Most feel more like a money grab at this point.

There are re-usable escape rooms you can give to dhe next on and on.

The Exit series in particular is soooooo bad. I made the mistake of playing a Portuguese version of the pharaoh one and it was awful. The translation errors made the puzzles unsolvable. Literally unsolvable.

We have a friend in our group who loves the Exit series and buys most of them and they're all terrible.

He has another escape room series called Unlock! which I find more enjoyable and it's 100% replayable. Replayable as in you don't destroy the components but once you know the solution there's no point in playing again.
