Helping out in Cooperative Board Games
Helping out in Cooperative Board Games

Games that encourage players to go for certain objectives such as to go against some players or against the game itself are classified as cooperative board games. These games emphasizes on team cooperation, which means winning or losing as a team, rather than individual competition. The events in the game come at random when the game advances making it more challenging for the players. The Arkham The Scotland Yard, released in the 1980s, is a good example of these games. Players that mimic as detectives team up to look for another player also mimicking as a criminal and everything is set to the streets of London. Horror, also produced in the 1980s, is set in the town of Arkham and players also impersonate as investigators to secure the town from aliens and monsters that pass through the gates and also to close the access. Choices of other cooperative board games are Pandemic, Lord of the Rings, and Shadow Over Camelot.

There are board games that are made exclusively for two individuals to play. These board games are suitably created for playing together with your wife, friend, or companion. The Abalone, played on a hexagonal shaped board, uses twenty eight marbles with fourteen marbles given to each player. The game is played by driving the opponents marbles out of the game board. The Chinese Checkers, played on a star shaped game board, has an objective of moving ones pieces across the opposite side of the game board. The Othello, played with two sets of pieces on an 8 by 8 board, has an objective of preserving the majority of the pieces throughout the game and the player with the highest number of remaining pieces wins.

Smart Deduction Board Games

Board games that require a player to make use of ones intellectual ability to make logical judgment based on a particular premise fall under the category of deductive board games. A central mechanic of these games would include deductive reasoning to win the game. There are two extensive categories of deductive board games namely the abstract deductive games which do not follow a theme and the investigation deductive games in which players act out game characters. Mastermind, played by 2 players is an example of abstract deductive board game where one player acts as code maker and the other acts as code breaker. The player who sets the code arranges the pegs on the game board in a certain pattern and the other player has to make an exact guess of the pattern used. The Cluedo is a definite example of an investigation deductive game with a murder scene setting where players get the role of a certain character and use logical reasoning to identify the person responsible for the crime. Other games that have the same genre include Black Box, Codam and Mystery Mansion.
