Cooperative Board Game
Cooperative board games are board games in which players work together to achieve a common goal rather than competing against each other. Either the players win the game by reaching a pre-determined objective, or all players lose the game, often by not reaching the objective before a certain event ends the game. Definition In cooperative board games, all players win or lose the game together. These games should not be confused with ''noncompetitive'' games, such as '' The Ungame'', which simply do not have victory conditions or any set objective to complete. While adventure board games with role playing and dungeon crawl elements like ''Gloomhaven'' may be included, pure tabletop role-playing games like '' Descent: Journeys in the Dark'' are excluded as they have potentially infinite victory conditions with persistent player characters.

Cooperative Game Theory
In game theory, a cooperative game (or coalitional game) is a game with competition between groups of Player (game), players ("coalitions") due to the possibility of external enforcement of cooperative behavior (e.g. through contract law). Those are opposed to non-cooperative games in which there is either no possibility to forge alliances or all agreements need to be Self-enforcing agreement, self-enforcing (e.g. through credible threats). Cooperative games are often analysed through the framework of cooperative game theory, which focuses on predicting which coalitions will form, the joint actions that groups take and the resulting collective payoffs. It is opposed to the traditional Non-cooperative game, non-cooperative game theory which focuses on predicting individual players' actions and payoffs and analyzing Nash equilibria. Cooperative game theory provides a high-level approach as it only describes the structure, strategies and payoffs of coalitions, whereas non-cooperativ ...
