Join us for a discussion of co-ops! We talk about what makes a co-op game fun, why we play cooperative vs. competitive games, and common mechanics that are seen in co-op games. We also discuss underutilized mechanics in co-op games, and wrap up with a few recent play impressions.
We will be off next week for vacation, but look for us to return the week of April 9th!
