MeeplesTogether

Meeples Together is a book on the theory and design of cooperative board games by Christopher Allen and Shannon Appelcline.

Some new co-op mechanics for the weekend: how supportive players can take on super roles as "Reverse-Overlords".

Today's case study, on Attack on Titan: The Last Stand demonstrates some of the potential problems with overlord games, but also a terrific co-op tactical system.

To celebrate Halloween and the impending end of the ground-breaking _Walking Dead_ tv show, today's new case study looks at a Walking Dead co-op: The Best Defense.

A new case study today, on Abandon Planet by Don Eskridge (also the designer of The Resistance). https://t.co/XYsRJvIPTC

[Christopher Allen @ChristopherA]

We continue to add more cooperative game case studies that didn’t make it into our book to our blog…

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

Another new case study; this one looks like at Shadows of Malice, an adventure co-op. https://t.co/k826ckwMMO

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

What co-op games have been hot in the last few years?

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

Another month, another new case study. This time we're talking about the hit team game, Codenames. https://t.co/jSSWBxyOyR

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

It's been a while, been here's our newest co-op case study, on Eldritch Horror by @valens116 and @Psycorey. https://t.co/EaUsfy9dO9

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

A new case study this week, looking at Rising Tide, the second Pandemic Survival game. https://t.co/vARpJnOftk

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

A new case study today looks at the first of the Pandemic Survival games, _Pandemic: Iberia_, by the always amazing @mattleacock (and Jesús Torres Castro). https://t.co/zi0R70XDQk

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

One of the first cooperative tabletop games returns for a 20th anniversary edition. A real classic!

[FantasyFlightGames @FFGames]

First published in 2000, Reiner Knizia's The Lord of the Rings: The Board Game has been an enduring classic. We're proud to announce it now returns to print with a brand-new anniversary edition, coming soon to your local retailer! #TheLordoftheRings

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

The Meeples Together case studies are back! This week we looked at the traitorous co-op, _Dark Moon_, which is pretty much _BSG-Lite_ (and quite good). https://t.co/UjBqZT4Z9l

[Christopher Allen @ChristopherA]

Shorter, slightly easier version of @mattleacock’s Pandemic game, one of the best cooperative games of the last decade. Included is a link to a free Print-and-Play version to use while social distancing. Learn about Pandemics & how to Collaborate!

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

How can collaboration affect the whole world? Christopher talks about the collaboration that resulted in the security protocols you use to shop safely online!

[Christopher Allen @ChristopherA]

This interview does a great job capturing some of the essence of the underlying philosophy that guides my work (and play). Great job @AlexSayJrdv!

[Z-Man Games @Zmangames_]

Since Pandemic was published in 2008, the family of co-op games has seen 8 standalones, 4 expansions, and a bestselling Legacy series.

Read today's message from @mattleacock and Steve Kimball to learn more about the newest (and smallest) Pandemic game: https://t.co/aHqKZrfCEq

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

Our newest case study covers "The Game", a very abstract but very tense and thoughtful game of stacking numbers up (and down) in the right order. https://t.co/iSxUcjqecd

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

We always considered Matt Leacock's _Pandemic_ to be an educational game that warned about the future of pandemics if we didn't prepare ourselves. Now, the newest version is landing itself square in the middle of reality.

[Will + Jeff @gameplaywright]

The latest @MeeplesTogether free online case study is live! How does CMON's The Grizzled fare against other co-ops? https://t.co/BekaMgc0bI

[MeeplesTogether @MeeplesTogether]

Our newest case study covers The Grizzled, a very popular game from several years ago that was simplistic but had a few nice gameplay elements.
