This week, we're talking about cooperative games - what they are, what makes them a good fit for families, and we explore the breadth of games that can be considered "cooperative". The post Episode 390 – Cooperative Games appeared first on The Family Gamers.

Takeaways Casual gaming should be accessible to all skill levels. Games should have a low barrier to entry and quick setup. Replayability is important for maintaining interest in games. A mix of cooperative and competitive games is ideal. Games should accommodate different group sizes. Consider the time commitment for each game. Games like Telestrations generate deep laughter and connection. Incorporating themes can enhance the gaming experience. Games can be a great way to engage in community settings. The joy of gaming often comes from the shared experience rather than competition.

I always used to be very much a competitive player. Pitting my wit against other people was my thing. I would usually lose games and still do, but it was always a lot of fun. Cooperative games really only came into my life when our daughter was young enough to play games with us that weren't just roll-and-move. I remember our first game of Forbidden Island, which we all really enjoyed and played many times since. So in this article, I want to explore why cooperative games have become so popular in recent years.

On this episode...We talk about the art of co-operation... in games, anyway. We start with conservation efforts to save at-risk wildlife, move on to a quick trip... or 3... through time to right a wrong, then return to a strange new land in hopes of lifting a curse, and finally, to a spot off the coast to clean up an environmental disaster, and save the ocean animals.Plus, we give an update on how our 24 hour marathon for Extra Life planning is going.

LISTENER HIGHLIGHT! * Jim from Pennsylvania MAIL BAG! - Episode 21 feedback - So grateful to @CampingMeeple's (https://www.instagram.com/campingmeeple/) response to episode 21 - how to start a board game group:  "We are trying to keep a Board game day happening more often at our church, but it was actually interesting listening to your last episode because it's generally hobby people at ours and you were talking about card games and stuff a lot. I am a relatively newer convert to hobby games, but my addiction started at one of these events. Interestingly, I attended one a few years prior and it didn't stick the same way. But just like you said it generally needs to be accessible games not heavy and the last time I brought my 10 year old." - This episode - @Reengineerthegame (https://www.instagram.com/Reengineer_the_game/) offers this response to our question about spiritual lessons learned from cooperative games: "Humility is the first one that comes to mind. You can be humbled in competitive games by being out played but in cooperative games you can choose humility over being an “alpha player” or simply get beat by the game." What is a cooperative game? You win as a group against the board, and not against each other You share information and ideas, and sometimes even resources You have a shared objective (achieve a certain amount of goals) You coordinate your moves and plan out as a group what to do Note the original Monopoly game had 2 rules-sets, and the second one (that we don't play anymore) was cooperative. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_board_game): In 1903 Elizabeth Magie patented "The Landlord's Game", inspired by the principles and philosophy of Henry George. The Landlords' and designed as a protest against the monopolists of the time, the game is considered to be the game from which Monopoly was largely derived. In it, Magie had two rule-sets - the Monopoly rules, in which players all vied to accrue the largest revenue and crush their opponents, and a co-operative set. Her dualistic approach was a teaching tool meant to demonstrate that the co-operative rules were morally superior. Spiritual Lessons Learning to take turns and moves that help the group and not yourself. Learning that diversity of gifts is important. Many cooperative games assign roles with special powers. Everyone has a different role to play. See 1 Corinthians 12 & Romans 12 in the Christian Bible. Encouraging everyone to participate in a low-stress way; cooperative games allow players to give and receive advice on what to do in a turn. The importance of trusting others' choices. Sometimes we have to let others fail in order to respect that actions and choices. Individual achievement can feel different from communal achievement. A shared victory is much sweeter in the end, don't you think? NEXT EPISODE - KEVIN: REFLECTIONS ON TEACHING SPIRITUALITY & BOARD GAMES! THANK YOU!

(Even if you homeschool more than one child, you'll want to listen in for ways to encourage moms who are and be more aware of the unique challenges they face.) I have received several messages from moms asking me to talk about homeschooling an only child. Because I am clearly not an expert in that field, I put that topic on the back burner until I could find someone who actually is an expert.  I finally connected with Jessica Waldock from The Waldock Way and we have an encouraging conversation in this episode about the challenges of homeschooling an only child and ways to overcome them.

It's us again! This month, we're working together on some cooperative games, including some obscure oldies, some new surprises, and some hall-of-fame classics (which we TOTALLY didn't forget any of until we were in the middle of recording the episode). As usual, we start with a bit of a ramble about what we've been playing (or at least buying) lately; if you want to skip that, the main topic of the show starts at 18:24. A few of the fascinating things we learned this episode: We clearly need to record an episode on asymmetrical games soon At least 40% of the podcast team gets "asymmetrical" confused with "asynchronous" Frank uses Gamepedia to organize his ludicrous boardgame collection (though most of us still suspect the mysterious hooded monks) Buddy the Frog was really excited to visit the Family Pastimes HQ Japanese schoolgirls were really excited to play Zombie Tower 3D (there's no sound for the first ~30 seconds of the video, so don't worry) In the spirit of cooperation, please feel free to share our podcast with people who you think might enjoy it. If you have the time to give us a review on iTunes, it really helps us in our efforts to reach more listeners.

Ahoy matey! The open sea, pirate simulator adventure game has arrived from the fine folks at Rare. We got our hands on it and share our initial impressions surrounding this shared world pirate game. We find buried treasure, chickens and skeletons all over. We also play the survival game Kona that we first encountered at PAX South 2017. Devan of course can't stop playing the Switch and he also jumps into a game called The Bridge. Is it worth jumping into? Listen to find out! In our news, Nintendo had their Spring nindies announcements with games like Banner Saga 3, West of Loathing and Light Fall coming soon to the Switch. Riot, Twitch and Blizzard are also working to minimize toxic behavior in video games and Atari unveils the name of the Ataribox: Atari VCS. Our discussion this week is on all the cooperative games coming out this year. We have a slew of them coming our way and it got us thinking: is this good or bad? We've been wanting good co-op games for years but now that we're getting our hands on them we're noticing some of their pitfalls such as finding friends to play with, matching skill levels and keeping us interested for a long period of time.
