What is a good co-op game for tabletop simulator?
« on: January 21, 2015, 08:08:40 pm »

As the title says. There's tons of games for it on steam, but I have no idea what is good, let alone what is cooperative.

 Basically I'm looking for something to play with a friend, not against. A game that can do just 2 players would be preferable, but bonus points if it can be played with more. It would also be nice if it wasn't too terribly complex, I'm open to but not preferring anything that requires significant strategy.

This might be better in OG.

I'm going to give this an extra chance... But if it gets buried again I'm moving it back.

By tabletop do you mean boardgame or pen and paper RPG?

Board/card games. RPGs are a bit too meaty for what I'm looking for unless it's super lightweight.


An example of something I think could work is Zombies. But I'd hope for something a bit more deliberately cooperative.

Will be blunt. I have no clue what boardgames are availble for table simulator 2014 so i might be way off or suggest something that's not availble.

Any RPG qualifies if you think about it since almost all players usually travel in one party defeating or trying to defeat whatever the GM is throwing at them.
So Pathfinder along with just about every single P&P RPG fits the bill.

Then i remember this.

I don't know about TS itself, but as far as cooperative games go, Pandemic is pretty damn good. It is fairly challenging and strategic without being unfair. The World War Z game is also fairly good. (Definitely shows its roots as a cheaper Pandemic clone.)

I'm going to give this a little bump, see if there's still options out there.

I'm partial to Sentinels of the Multiverse myself. You can play it solo or with friends, and the TS module has a majority of the content of it (as opposed to the actual Steam version of SotM, which is in its infancy).
