Hello Beehaw!

As someone that enjoy playing with my spouse a lot I wonder which games are your favorites for playing with or against someone else. Our current favorites are:

Dominion
Res Arcana
Wingspan (still need to try Asia expansion)
Terraforming Mars

Unfortunately these listed games are competitive ones so I'm also looking to increase the list of cooperative games! We did play Aeon's End Legacy but need play the expansions.

Lots of great suggestions in this thread! I will add a few of my favorites.

Mansions of Madness Fun spooky co op that has a lot of stories to play through. Your typically an investing team trying to solve spooky mysteries. I saw someone suggest Arkham horror if you like that suggestion then you will also like Mansions of madness.
Sleeping Gods Story telling co op adventure. The game takes you though this new world and you have to figure out how to get home. Very thematic with a bunch of different crossroads. Combat is very punishing but still fun. I also believe they are coming out with a second one. I love Red Raven games so I would also suggest Above and Below as well as Near and Far but both of those are competitive.

- Nemesis It is basically Alien the movie the board game. It is semi co op. You have a general objective to get the ship safely to earth but as aliens start popping out your goal changes to what you find most important. Every time I play this game I feel like I could have watched the movie I just played. Your goals could be aligned or they could not be. But why I like to play it with my wife is because even if our goals are not aligned we cannot fight each other you can old do some what harmful things haha.

The Gloomhaven suggestion

I am sure people have put Gloomhaven. It’s top tier when we are talking co op but I would suggest jaws of the lion over Gloomhaven. Jaws is cheaper and a lot easier to set up than. This suggestion is only if your considering Gloomhaven.

Best of luck and happy gaming.

I am awaiting Sleeping Gods! I bought it with the recent Kickstarter and nearly went all in. But I'm really into thematic story telling and I thjnk the campaign nature will be good for me and my gf to come back to over time.
