Co-Op Gaming Lab: Exploring Board Games + PC Gaming Spring 2023

Co-Op Gaming Lab: Exploring Board Games + PC Gaming

In this class, students are introduced to several forms of play, including multiplayer, co-op, storytelling, and escape the room games.  We will play both tabletop and video games through the Steam platform to expand our ability to think critically and problem-solve.  Our player versus player games teach students to think for themselves and win, while our co-op game selection requires students to work as a team and defeat a common enemy - rather than playing each other, we play against the game. Each gamer brings unique experiences and strengths, and we encourage them to foster their leadership and social skills through exploring different strategies both on their own and together.

In past classes we explored tabletop games such as Mysterium, Pandemic, Forbidden Desert, Cuphead Roll & Run, 5-Minute Dragon, Castle Panic, Exit, The Initiative and online cooperative video games such as Raft, Grounded Corekeeper and Terraria.
