The Lens of Cooperation

Collaborating and succeeding as a team is a special pleasure that can create lasting social bonds. Use this lens to study the cooperative aspects of your game. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Cooperation requires communication. Do my players have enough opportunity to communicate? How could communication be enhanced?
  • Are my players friends already, or are they strangers? If they are strangers, can i help them break the ice?
  • Is there synergy (2+2=5) or antergy (2+2=3) when the players work together? Why?
  • Do all the players have the same role, or do they have special jobs?
