I love co-op games. A few of my favorites (in no particular order) are:
Fallout (w/ Atomic Bonds expansion of course)
The Crew (either version)
Black Orchestra
Stars of Akarios
Forbidden Desert
Gloomhaven
Mysterium
Arkham Horror LCG
Spirit Island
Honorable mention for some semi-co-ops:
Fury of Dracula
Specter Ops
Dead of Winter
This is a great list, thanks! I can't believe I didn't know about the Fallout game since that is one of my favorite video game series. I"m going to have to find that one and get it on the table.
Do you have house rules for Fury of Dracula? It was a long time ago that we played it, but I remember that Dracula was too hard to catch and if you cornered him he disappeared into the ocean.
None that I can remember.
Him escaping via the ocean shouldn't end up being terribly difficult because everyone can tell that's where he is, how many ocean spaces he went through, and cannot backtrack. Usually you can narrow his location down to a few ports.
Mina Harker's power is absolutely critical to use whenever possible. Once you've narrowed position down to a region the game should feel much more winnable because all 4 hunters can spread out and close in.
The bigger issue we usually have with that game is the combat doesn't feel super great and bogs the game down.
Honestly, if you like the hidden movement aspect of the game, I think Specter Ops is the easier/more accessible game to play. It's not that far off from FoD, but it's not as heavy.
