Interested to read the origins of co-ops.
I ran to my local Barnes and Nobles to find a copy of this issue but they didn't have it. And yes this store location was listed on the list of stores supposedly carrying the magazine. Maybe they didn't get it in yet. I never heard of this magazine until I saw a tweet about the giveaway so here I am. I am very intrigued by the issue and hope to get my hands on a copy so I can see for myself if it's something I'd like to read regularly.
Boardgaming is a hobby and while I was a kid, my best friend and I used to design boardgames and play them. I haven't done that in years and while it's a pipe dream as of now I'd love to actually design a boardgame and perhaps get lucky in marketing it. I see this magazine as a potentially valuable resource so I am excited to learn about this!
Michael,
Thanks for your interest in our magazine! We will certainly have (and have had in the past) plenty of content for upcoming game designers. We wish you the best of luck with your future designing efforts!
As for Barnes & Noble, our physical magazine is unfortunately experiencing a delayed shipment due to overseas holidays and port congestion. B&N probably won't have the latest issue on the shelf until the end of April/early May. If they didn't have our previous issue (Winter 2015) on the shelf, they may have already cleared it out to make room for newer magazines. If you will contact us and provide the specific B&N location or store number we can check with our distributor to find out if this store is still receiving it. Sorry for the trouble!
We also sell both physical and digital copies ourselves for convenience - though we are still waiting for the physical shipment, as noted above.
My group loves Cooperative Games the best. Sparks lots of good convo.
I enjoyed the history of gaming article. The Co-op article was nice too, but no mention of Forbidden Island or Desert? Those strike me as the most popular casual co-op games out right now.
Nice article on coops!
Love cooperative play games, love the conversations it evokes.
This magazine really shows some thing interesting and new in the industry ad hobby.
Interesting info. Thanks for sharing!
