Last week, we kicked off a new collaborative video feature for our site: Co-Op Around the (e)Tabletop! Every couple weeks, depending on schedules, Mike, Locke, Jason, and Nick will be donning their wizard robes and hats for a 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure hosted/DM'd by Artie from Cloud 9 Tabletop. You can join us live on our Twitch channel, or you can catch the recap post a few days later.
If you are anything like me, you are approaching the level of burnout with zombie themed games. From board games to video games to comics and TV, zombies are literally everywhere. There are several co-op board games featuring zombies, including three we have already covered in this column: Zombies Keep Out!, Dead Panic, and Zombicide. What does Dea...
One of the first cooperative board games we ever covered here at Co-Optimus was Castle Ravenloft. Released in 2010, this vampire-themed tabletop dungeon crawl was the first of the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System games. It was quickly followed by two more games in the series, Wrath of Ashardalon and Legend of Drizzt. Fans thought the series ...
Way, way back in the prehistory of the Tabletop Co-Op column, more than six years ago, we covered our very first cooperative board game here at Co-Optimus: Pandemic. In the time since that first article ran, Pandemic has become one of the most popular board games in the world, spawning a dice game, an upgraded reprint, and several expansions. Last ...

The titular theme song raced to the top of the charts. Blending comedy with light horror elements and great special effects, the film would become a major...
The Warhammer 40,000 setting should be familiar to most gamers. From the popular tabletop miniatures game to all manner of video games, including Space Marine, Kill Team, and the Dawn of War series, the grimdark future is everywhere. Today, we will take a look at a rare cooperative board game offering from Games Workshop, set in the 40K universe: A...
It has been just under five years since we started the Tabletop Co-Op column here at Co-Optimus. Even before we looked at Space Hulk Death Angel the card game back in September 2011, we had covered other co-op tabletop games like Pandemic and Castle Panic in the now-retired Co-Op Casual Fridays column. We’ve taken a closer look at more than f...
For this installment of Tabletop Co-Op, we travel to one of the most well-known locations in all of fantasy literature: Middle Earth. The setting is a rich one, and has inspired countless video games as well as card and board games. The idea of a group of men, elves, dwarves, and hobbits teaming up to take on the relentless invading forces of an ev...
Once again, we step away from the couch and to the kitchen table for another edition of Tabletop Co-Op. In this series, we look for the best cooperative card and board games out there. Today’s game looks very much like a video game, with characters and enemies that would be at home in Halo or Gears of War. But Xenoshyft Onslaught is no video ...
For many of the human sub-species known as "Grognards", the classic "Temple of Elemental Evil" module was their first opportunity to get a taste of the excitement, hilarity, and pure death that Dungeons and Dragons had to offer. For those of us who were too young for such an opportunity, WizKids is offering a chance to revisit the horrors surrounding the village of Hommlet in their latest board game, "The Temple of Elemental Evil".
Welcome to another Tabletop Co-Op article, in which we unplug from the consoles and take a look at cooperative board and card games.
