The world of board games has exploded in recent years, moving far beyond classics like Monopoly and Scrabble. Modern board games offer diverse themes, mechanics, and levels of complexity, attracting a wider audience than ever before.
One rapidly growing genre is cooperative games, where players work together towards a common goal instead of competing against each other.
