What is your favorite style board game and why?

Posey Stoakes

Hey there,

My favorite style of board game would have to be cooperative games. I just love how it fosters a sense of teamwork, especially when you're playing with friends and family. Whether it's working together to solve puzzles, or trying to overcome challenging obstacles, the whole experience is just so gratifying when you manage to emerge victorious together.

For me, cooperative games offer something truly unique compared to other types of board games. While competitive games can be fun in their own right, I find that there's something special about working together towards a common goal. It just feels like we're all in it together, and that level of shared experience is hard to come by in other forms of gaming.

One of my all-time favorite cooperative games is Pandemic. This game has you and your team working together to stop the spread of a deadly virus, and cure patients before they succumb to the illness. It's challenging, to be sure, but with teamwork and strategy, you can pull off some incredible victories.

Another cooperative game that I really enjoy is Betrayal at Baldur's Gate. It's a Dungeons & Dragons-themed board game that has a ton of replay value, as the game scenario changes every time you play. Players work together to explore a haunted mansion, uncovering secrets and items along the way. But the twist is, at some point, one player will turn traitor, leading to a thrilling battle between the two sides.

I love how each cooperative game offers its own unique flavor, and how they can appeal to a wide variety of players. For example, some players really enjoy the puzzle-solving aspects of games like Pandemic, while others might prefer the more immersive, story-driven experiences offered by Betrayal at Baldur's Gate.

All in all, I think cooperative games are a fantastic way to spend an evening with friends and family. Not only are they loads of fun, but they also encourage teamwork and communication, making for a truly memorable gaming experience. If you haven't tried a cooperative game before, I highly recommend it!
