Chronological Disorder have you also tried the DC deck building game? It’s only cooperative if you add the expansions but the crisis expansion is really good. And when I say DC deck building game I do not mean rebirth. The original is much better than rebirth.

Great list of co-op games, and I love your rapport. I’m a recent subscriber, but I really appreciate your content and approach. That said, IMHO, this video is a bit mis-named. I can see three similar lists: (1) 5 best co-op games, (2) 5 best co-op games for two players, and (3) 5 best co-op games for couples (which is what you called this video). I would suspect that there would be a great deal of overlap between the three lists. But using the word couples, instead of two players, connotes something specific, at least to me. Sure if both members of a couplet are gamers, a couples list and two-player list would be identical/equivalent. And there are many such couples, and I know more than a few. But, many couples only have one gamer (like my wife and I). When I think of a list labeled best co-op for COUPLES, as distinct to a list of best co-ops for 2 PLAYERS, I think about how a couple might differ from two generic players. Specifically, one of the two might not be a gamer. So the couples list would focus on games that are intriguing enough for a gamer, but appealing and accessible to a non-gamer, and games that are not prone to quarterbacking by the gamer member of the couplet. Maybe I’m wrong, and it wouldn’t be the first time. But I’d love to know about a co-op game for two that requires two DIFFERENT skills/ways of thinking, which would allow both players (including a non-gamer) for feel like they are adding something to the game. My wife - her emotional intelligence far outshines mine, but I’m the logic/math/planner. She loves jigsaw puzzles, but I’m colorblind, so they scare me. I’d love a co-op gane that requires multiple sets of skills to figure out/master. Would you please do a list like that, assuming such games exist?

Hello BGC!! My wife Clare and myself have just started to get into board games and watched your videos for inspiration. So much so that we went out and bought the Harry Potter game, really looking forward to playing it, and we are already searching for others you mentioned too!! Just a quick question, I've heard of people putting the games' cards into plastic sleeves, but the ones I have found say they aren't to be used when shuffling them. Do you have any recommendations for which to use and which to avoid? (could make for an interesting and useful video!!) Thank you!!
@BoardGameCoffee
3 жыл бұрын
There are a wide range of card sleeves available. I used to buy the more expensive ones when I played magic the gathering, but when It came to board games like Marvel Legendary that have hundreds of cards, that route would’ve been way too expensive. So I’ve gone to Amazon and purchased sleeves in bulk that were of a cheaper brand. And yes if I shuffle them too often the corners do start to split, but they’re so cheap that I have hundreds of replacements on hand ready to go. Still works out cheaper than buying the more expensive card sleeves.

Legendary is only a competitive game if you play it that way. Throughout the game as you’re playing you need to work together to beat the challenge, it’s only competitive if you’re playing for points at the end. We play it both ways, but decided to put it on this list due to the fact that we work together more to accomplish goals than trying to outdo each other.
