Pointless Co-operation

Staunch competitive players may feel that co-operative games are a bit pointless. After all, it makes more sense if there is only one winner, rather than several, or so their reasoning might go. However, even if you love co-operative games and even if you prefer them to competitive games, there are some games where you don't feel like you're achieving anything - and that might feel pointless to you. In this article, I want to look at this in a little more detail.

I have found that in cooperative games, I have the most fun when we win at the LAST possible moment. It all comes down to this final die roll, flip of the card, etc. It's much more dramatic than knowing you are going to fail miserably, or even win easily.

As to the general co-op attitude, I enjoy co-op and adversarial games in equal measure. There are great stories to be told within the co-op space that everyone at the table can enjoy. Stories from single winners are not nearly as fun to recount....or listen to.

I like competitive games. I like co-operative games.
The premise is identical, really.
