I thought cooperative board games were boring until one night in March changed that

Me and my group always played competitive stuff like Risk or Catan. Then a buddy brought over Pandemic on a Thursday and I rolled my eyes so hard. But after 30 minutes of us all panicking over an outbreak in Tokyo, I was hooked. The teamwork actually felt tense and fun, not lame. Has anyone else had a cooperative game flip their opinion?

Dude that's exactly how I felt the first time I played Castle Panic with my nephews.

Right, and isn't that part of the fun though? Watching kids get totally wiped out by a goblin invasion while your perfect defense plan crumbles is half the entertainment. It's basically a lesson in humility for adults, wrapped in a cardboard box. Plus the look on their faces when they finally pull off a win is totally worth it.
