Massdrop Cooperative Games Bundle

Often, boardgames are built around the goal of crushing your opponents and claiming victory, which can lead to some awkward game nights. The Cooperative Games Bundle from Massdrop features two games where the players work together against the board to win. It’s perfect for team building at work or casual game nights at home. Take on forgotten desert cities in Forbidden Desert, and fend off an invading force of enemies in Samurai Spirit.

Forbidden Desert is a gorgeous cooperative board game where players work together to try to find and repair the legendary flying machine and escape before the heat of the scorching sun leaves them toast. Sandstorms continually blow the tiles into new positions so players must keep track of where the ship parts are located. With an abundance of random scenarios and game variations, it’s a beautiful and memorable game with a lot of replayability. For more information on the rules, click the link below.

There are also equipment cards that can be discovered along the journey that will provide a great help.
