More and more people find out that they would like to play together instead of against each other. In co-operative games, the players experience the power of teamwork. All players have the same goal that they can reach by making creative and strategic choices together. There are no opponents; the game itself creates the challenge. The players try to win, but sometimes they all lose! As opposed to the more common 'competitive games', these games encourage the players to pull together, to communicate clearly and to help each other. Playing a co-operative game is a pleasant and constructive experience.
