Let’s play together: the best cooperative games of today!
Cooperative games have become one of the most popular game categories lately! We understand why, because this category is all about working together to achieve victory. Not alone, but one for all and all for one! You’ll find the best cooperative games of today here.
EXIT: Avonturen op Catan
If there is anywhere where teamwork is essential, it is in an escape room. Or, in the case of EXIT, at home with an escape room game. In this edition of the popular home escape room, the best of CATAN and EXIT come together. Win-win!
In this adventurous EXIT, you and a number of villagers head to the beautiful island of Catan. The island appears to have enough resources to supply everyone, but you are not the only ones who want them. Mysterious disappearances and a great secret lurk behind the beautiful surroundings of the new land. Will you manage to steer fate and build a new life on foreign soil? Play well together and solve all the puzzles to bring the story to a happy ending!
Chronicles of Crime Courtroom Justice
It follows a similar principle to an escape room game, but with a mystery to solve. For those unfamiliar with it: Chronicles of Crime is a popular cooperative board game series that combines physical game components with a digital app for investigation. Players solve crimes by visiting locations, questioning suspects, and scanning evidence via the app. Each Chronicle of Crime is a standalone game with its own setting, rules, and components.
The newest addition to the world of Chronicles of Crime is Courtroom Justice. For the first time in the Chronicles of Crime series, you step into the shoes of a lawyer instead of a detective. The evidence has been collected, the suspects have been arrested, but you are not convinced that the prosecutor has the whole story. As a team, you set out to investigate to find clues and solve the mystery. But remember: time waits for no one!
The Legends of Andorr: The Far Land
The Legends of Andor is a well-known and popular series within cooperative games. With The Far Land, you discover seven new legends in a standalone game. The Far Land is a sequel to the new era following The Legends of Andor: The Eternal Cold, but stands alone and is therefore playable by everyone!
The journey to a far land presents a group of brave heroes with all kinds of challenges. In this game, exciting adventures await players in seven brand-new legends. Dive into a fantastic story in this cooperative board game and brave hostile powers! Connoisseurs of the original game will not be in for any surprises and can start right away. But don’t think that means you have already mastered The Far Land, because this new cooperative game has plenty of surprises in store!
The Two Towers: Trick-Taking Game
Attention all Tolkien enthusiasts: this one is for you! In The Two Towers: Trick-Taking Game (holy alliteration), you will experience the enchanting world of Middle-earth. This story-driven cooperative card game invites you to step into the shoes of iconic heroes and villains from the legendary work of J.R.R. Tolkien!
The game builds upon the adventures of 2025’s The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game and takes you through chapters 19-36. Although the chapters can be played in any order, it offers the ultimate experience when played in the correct sequence.
In each chapter, you assume the role of a unique character, each with their own conditions for successfully completing the chapter and advancing the story. As you progress, new characters, items, and challenges are introduced, ensuring every game offers a fresh experience. The One Ring acts as the only trump card, but cannot be played as the leading card at the beginning until someone plays a divergent card.
Fun: although the game is ideal for cooperative play, it also offers challenging variations for solitaire players.
Mage Knight: The Apocalypse Dragon
A game for the more experienced players among us: Mage Knight: The Apocalypse Dragon, the first major expansion for the original Mage Knight game since 2015. This game expands the epic world of Mage Knight with a terrifying new threat and a new playable hero.
Enter the captivating world of the Mage Knight board game and immerse yourself in a universe full of magic, mystery, and mighty warriors. You take on the role of one of the Mage Knights, each with their own unique skills and powers, and your goal is to explore and conquer a corner of this universe. Build your own army, fill your deck with powerful spells and actions, and explore mysterious caves and dark dungeons. Ultimately, your mission is to conquer the mighty cities that were once controlled by this great faction.
In this expansion, as the title suggests, the Apocalypse Dragon takes center stage, a powerful enemy that adds extra tension and challenge to the game. Players must hone their strategies to defeat this new threat while continuing to explore the world and further develop their hero. You will also meet a new playable hero: Coral, who seeks revenge on the Apocalypse Cult. You will also encounter new enemies, including the Four Horsemen and the terrifying Apocalypse Dragon. You will explore new areas with new locations and challenges. All of this comes together in a story-driven campaign mode with new scenarios and more!
Codenames: Critical Roles Adventures
One to look forward to: the Codenames edition of the popular web series Critical Roles! For those unfamiliar with it, Critical Role is a web series where a group of American voice actors primarily play Dungeons & Dragons. Especially for fans of both Critical Role and Codenames, there is good news: the two concepts have joined forces!
Codenames: Critical Role Adventures is a unique variation on Codenames, inspired by the Critical Role universe. It is a fully cooperative version of the game, where one game master leads their group through dangerous missions. Each mission puts its own spin on the classic Codenames rules and features a new set of thematic words. Play the game in three separate campaigns, choose from seven Critical Role characters, and unlock new skills and gear to use during missions!
