Dave, Proprietor of Mulligan Books, explains to customer, Jackson,
how he CAN tell a book by its cover… while Sarah, local political
activist and gadfly, is absorbed in some really trashy fiction
she wanted to peruse, while waiting for jury duty at the
nearby courthouse, “to see what people are reading.”

Cooperative Board Games
All Age Groups

What is a Co-operative Game?

Play as friends, not as enemies… Our games foster the spirit of co-operation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, bring in the harvest, complete a space exploration… They are never against each other.

After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies, in other words, to get rid of one another! We soon learn how to pick on the other person’s weaknesses in order to eliminate him or her from the game.

Let’s take an example… A simple, common party game for socializing youngsters illustrates our point. Musical Chairs fosters aggression and elimination. Played co-operatively (see our Games Manual), you will see how hugging replaces pushing, how ability and strength are used to help rather than push out of the way.

People of different ages and abilities should be able to play side by side, each making their best contribution. In a cooperative game, someone young and little can play with others older and bigger and not worry about being wiped out. We are all there at the end of it.

Some cautions… We don’t protect children from not making it to the summit or completing the space voyage. Our games are designed to offer realistic challenges. But the cultural habit of competing and confronting adversaries runs deep. Some players end up fighting the game itself. We suggest that you’ll get better results learning how to get along with Time, Winter, Gravity, and Mountains rather than fighting them.

Aside from all these serious considerations, some people just want to share an enjoyable and challenging time with friends. We feel that co-operative games will prove to be that friendly form of fun.

The challenge… In sum, games are used in various settings and for various reasons. Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. Whatever your objective, we invite you to realize them by co-operative means. Parents and teachers trying to teach children to share, be kind to living things, and help others out often are troubled by games and recreation programs which undermine these values. Our games provide the opportunity to experience sharing and caring behavior. We simply don’t have enough of such experiences.

I don’t use the Kindle or an e-reader. I can understand why if you’re on an airplane going around the world, you’d want a Kindle. But I think books are great technology. Once they’re produced they don’t use any energy. If their materials are decent and sound, and you take care of them, they’ll last forever. I like the feel of a book, I like to turn pages, I like to see print on paper. The pleasure of going into a bookshop, finding things you didn’t even know you were looking for, discovering things—that’s what we’re losing now. Everyone knows in advance what they want, and they order it online or download it. ~E.L. Doctorow

The book doesn’t have to have its battery warmed up, or a wi-fi hotspot to make it work, you can turn down its corners and skip ahead and then back; easier than scrolling. You can keep it on your shelf and consult it in an instant without tedious searching time. And, if it is a particularly good, dull book, you can see its spine hanging over your head, haunting you a little, urging you to read it … more readers have been seduced by spines (“I’ve got to read that Tolstoy”) than have been summoned by iStores. No, the book is a fabulous, seductive technology. ~Adam Gopnik
