Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Board Games that teach consensus/cooperation

[Lyle Scheer (wonko]

So, caveat being I'm a bit of a board gamer.... this is a really good
strategy game that requires player cooperation to win.  It may not
necessarily be a good "touchy-feely" learn cooperation type of a game,
and I've heard it's not all that easy to win even if you do cooperate. 
However, other board gamers I know highly recommend this game as
"good/challenging" and "fun".
