Cooperative Strategy & Team Games
📋 What it is
In cooperative games players work TOGETHER against the game; success needs communication and shared planning.
🗣️ Coach says
Not all strategy is you-versus-me. In COOPERATIVE games, everyone works together to beat the game itself. The skills shift: you must communicate clearly, agree a shared plan, and coordinate roles. Team strategy is its own art — and great practice for real-life teamwork.
🧠 Memory hook
Cooperative = all-vs-the-game. Communicate, share a plan, coordinate roles.
