For a lightning-quick, pick-and-pass-style card game, Bilanko loves Sushi Go! The aim is to collect cards to create collections of dishes for different point values, and whoever scores the most points wins.
The game is suitable for ages 8 and up, so you can even play it with kids. Cards feature various characters, and players use them to change the trump suit and take the lead, according to Daniel Kilbert, owner of The Compleat Strategist. Like the original Railroad Ink — which was featured in both our best one-player board games and best board games for Zoom stories — players roll dice to build out a network of railroads.
The main objective is to earn points by choosing from six different-colored dice for chain-scoring opportunities on your scoreboard. If the raptors eat all of the scientists or help three baby raptors escape, they win.
Heads up: Only a few are left in stock! Some ingredients will help you gain points and coins which you then spend on more resources. Tiny Towns is designed for two to six players, so couples or roommates can play by themselves or whip it out when hosting a larger game night. Caper combines elements of a drafting card game players start with a handful of cards and then take more to build a stronger hand with a whodunit-style murder mystery along the lines of Clue.
But unlike Clue , which is best played with a group, this is perfect for a pair, says Bilanko. The game combines elements of deck-building as you seek to build up your military, as well as the interactive component of trading-card-style combat as you face off to attack your opponent.
Players take on the role of two hikers as they navigate different trails, collecting memories of the different places they visit. The game is played in four rounds, each one representing a different season, with the trail tiles being shuffled and rearranged before players begin the next round.
But the tension of the game lies in the small size of the board. The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Release date: Players: Varies Link: Steam. The Halo series may have the most replayable FPS campaigns ever. Each game has a handful of levels that put you in wide open spaces, free to tackle enemies when and how you choose.
Steal a ghost or warthog and careen around the map running over Covenant enemies are they dive out of the way. Seek out a rocket launcher to blow them to smithereens. Hide behind cover and ping down their shields with headshots. Harder difficulties are made easier with a co-op partner, since as long as one of you is alive, there's a chance to respawn.
In the Master Chief Collection, you can even toggle on a scoring mode and modifiers that tweak enemy behavior or make them explode into confetti. It's a good time. All the games in the Master Chief Collection are being released one-by-one throughout Reach is a great starter if you're brand new to the series. Release date: Players: 2 Link: Steam. We Were Here is a puzzle adventure series designed entirely around co-op. Seriously: You can't play it any other way. The puzzles are inspired by escape rooms and games like Myst, and you and your co-op partner have to talk each other through what you're seeing and doing to get through together.
As we wrote about one of the sequels, you and your partner are the real puzzle—figuring out how to communicate is the challenge and satisfaction of this trilogy. Somehow Risk of Rain 2 managed to transform a loot-heavy 2D roguelike into 3D nearly flawlessly, retaining the fun of its character classes despite the totally new perspective. It's a simple game about blasting enemies over and over again until you inevitably die.
The joy of it, what keeps you coming back, is the potential for insane builds. You'll collect dozens of items through a run, things that make you move faster or heal when you get kills or shoot electricity out of your body or hit enemies with a flame tornado or jump so high you're airborne for 10 seconds The loop can hook you solo, but play with three friends for maximum mayhem.
Deep Rock Galactic is like procedurally generated Left 4 Dead with bits of resource management and open-ended exploration. It had its issues when it launched in Early Access in , but developer Ghost Ship Games has spent the last year and a half bulking it up with new weapons, biomes, enemies, mission types, and more challenges. Where before missions felt pointless, you now always have weapon unlocks on the horizon that change up the playstyles of its four dwarf classes. It's a casual game to go spelunking in together.
The shooting feels great and its voxel-based destruction never gets old. Deep Rock has found its groove, and hopefully keeps on growing. Release date: Players: Link: Humble. You're a truly fragile nobody. There are no map waypoints to guide you where to go, and no level-ups to raise your stats and make you stronger. You can't fast-travel across the world. You have to navigate by landmarks and play as cautiously you would in a real adventure across the world, and that's a really fun experience with a friend by your side.
As Chris wrote in his review : "It makes minor setbacks feel like major obstacles to overcome and it makes small victories feel like utter triumphs. Outward is harsh and occasionally frustrating, but it does what so few games do.
It requires you to put real thought into the choices you make, and it makes those choices feel like they really matter. The latest Total War is a lush representation of Chinese history, and blurs the line between traditional total War and the fantasy Warhammer games by letting you play a mode focusing on the larger-than-life heroes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Thankfully, it also overhauls Total War's stagnant diplomacy systems, making it our go-to Total War recommendation today. As in past games, you can play a two-player campaign, but this time around you don't have to hard commit to competing or co-operating at the start.
Instead, for co-op play, you can choose to share the "mandate of heaven" during the campaign to bind your fates and win conditions together.
Until you do that, it's open-ended how you play with or against one another. If you're hankering for fantasy, though, Total War: Warhammer 2 is still the way to go. With Warhammer 2, Creative Assembly also tried to solve a longstanding series problem: Campaigns growing stale in the endgame, as they drag on towards total map dominance.
It's not as robust as the new Three Kingdoms, but sometimes you just want to make giant armies of lizardmen and ratmen fight each other to the death. Stardew Valley multiplayer arrived in , adding co-op for up to four players or more with mods sharing the same farm.
It's a pleasant place to spend time together, dividing up the endless farm chores and watching your overgrown homestead slowly morph into a thriving veggie plantation. Multiplayer works pretty seamlessly: You share money but otherwise have your own houses, inventories, and relationships with the townsfolk, so your whole crew can mostly do their own thing, then come together for special season events. While you become the master of planting, I'll be over here catching enough fish to keep us in money during the winter.
This sequel to Vermintide confidently expands on the Left 4 Dead-alike formula, adding a whole new faction of enemies to fight in addition to the Skaven, and more robust class leveling and loot systems.
It still feels nice and meaty when you smash in a rat man's face with a giant club, and there's a welcome build variety now with the game's five characters. Switching characters or even classes makes levels easily replayable a dozen times over.
If you loved Left 4 Dead but have simply played enough of it for the past decade, this is where you should redirect your attention. It's good for a few dozen hours of bloody melee carnage.
It's also gotten a lot of free and paid post-release support, adding quite a few levels to an already substantial campaign. Access our web games from your browser for free.
