Hey folks, I’d love a few suggestions of coop games to play with my kids. Sentinels of the Multiverse is a bit too much for Sarah while Joshua gets a bit too into the choices.
Thanks!
if you have multiple systems, did you consider minecraft?
Maybe a little bit too easy for your 12 yo, but still worth a try:
-
Stuffed Fables is a coop adventure game for kids where you have to make decisions together and talk about your feelings
-
Zombie Teenz Evolution is an easy and fast legacy coop game where more rules and mechanics are slowly added over time
Stars of Akarios, if they’re both into space games…
- Marvel United: simple card driven Pandemic-ish firefighting
- Quirky Circuits: Penny & Gizmo’s Snow Day!: programming, concurrent planning
- The Game: hand management
- Tranquility: hand management, base game is pretty simple, comes with a bunch of expansions to ramp it up
- Dice Conquest: Dice placement, manipulation
- Teeter Tower: dexterity, balance, stacking
- The Mind: more of a silent social experience than a game. A lot of fun when you “get it”
- Kites: Sand timers. I haven’t actually played this one yet but looks fun
A bit more complex:
- Pandemic: The Cure: My favorite version of Pandemic, turns the game into a dice based romp
- The LOOP: This is somewhere between Pandemic and Spirit Island, fun theme, might be a good preparation for more complex stuff
- Regicide: Only needs a standard deck of cards, not easy but very satisfying when you get a win
- FUSE: realtime, can get pretty hectic. Check theme for appropriateness.
