Five rules for a co-op game night without falling out
Small habits that keep the fun in chaotic games.

1Pick for the least experienced player
Choose a game the newest player can enjoy. Our 'Easy to join' score helps. Experts will have fun teaching.
2Agree on roles early
In games like Overcooked! 2 or PlateUp!, decide who chops and who washes before the timer starts.
3Rotate the controller
If you have more friends than controllers, rotate every level, not every hour.
4Set a stopping time
One more level can last all night. Agree on a finish time before you start.
5Laugh at failure
The best stories come from disasters. A burned kitchen or a fall from a cliff is the point, not a problem.
