Compare Cooperative and Competitive Board Games for Your Group

A group that loves arguing about strategy will hate Pandemic. A group that comes to socialise will hate chess tournaments. This maps your group's dynamics to game styles so the evening ends with people still talking rather than someone slamming the lid on.

3. What competitive games demand socially (direct conflict, visible losing) and the same assessment
4. Which style handles mixed experience levels better
5. Your recommendation, with a brief note on what would go wrong with the alternative
