Thunderbirds are go!
Thunderbirds is a great cooperative game that has elements of Pandemic and X-Com.

Players take on the role of international rescue and work to prevent disaters occuring around the world (and in space) Meanwhile the Hood works to sabotage the players.

Players move vehicles and character's around the board to bring the right equipment into play and then try to resolve the disasters with a dice role.

There are sevral difficulty levels and the expaniosns work well together.

I really enjoy this game. I like that each game is different and that it is a cooperative game. My friends and I have talked about home-brewing a version of the game where you shuffle two heroes together "SmashUp style" and fight against each other.

Although I love the cooperative aspect of the game there are multiple times where the odds are just stacked too high against you. Though this obviously could mean that my friends and I suck, it can be a little discouraging when you have break out afree break out.

Quarterbacking is a problem with players who have a varying degree of skill (0 more)
Pandemic is a lot of board gamers first cooperative game, and for that it has a lot of value. A lot of people have fond memories getting destroyed over and over, feeling that their first win was a big accomplishment. Unfortunately, after your first few wins, the game loses a lot of its charm. You start to recognize the patterns, and can pretty much tell within the first few terms if your group is going to win. As a result, this game is likely gathering dust in a lot of people's collections: too nostalgic to sell, but not good enough to play.

The game also suffers a lot of the basic problems of cooperative games. Experienced players quarterbacking is common. The randomness of the cards drawn is frustrating. The roles drawn don't always work well together (and can largely dictate if you win).

Overall, I would still recommend this to a new board gamer. But I would still probably recommend the Legacy versions more highly.

Ready for a fight
This is one of the few competitive games we have, it is the reason I began searching for more cooperative games. We love Monopoly, its a classic and it is hours of fun and tears.
