Recent board gaming has focus on a type of game that i’m not usually very keen on playing – the Co-op game – there are a number of well regarded Co-op games like:

Pandemic and follow ups: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic

Forbidden Island: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/65244/forbidden-island

Battlestar Galactica: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37111/battlestar-galactica

These games have the same thing in common – the players have to work together to beat the game.

One of the newest Kickstarter Co-op games to come out was Aeon’s End https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/191189/aeons-end which has another on my favourite mechanics of deck building.
