A recent trend in board games is for co-operative games in which all players are striving to achieve a common goal. Some of the most popular (with BGG rating in brackets) are The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine (7.8), Forbidden Island (6.8) and Forbidden Desert (7.1), Mansions of Madness (7.3), The Initiative (7.5), Mysterium (7.2) and Mysterium Park (7.1), Gloomhaven (8.6), Codenames Duet (7.5), and Betrayal at House on the Hill (7.0). The mountain climbing game Summit (7.1) is interesting because it can be played as a co-operative, competitive or solo game. The Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective (7.6) series is a popular crime solving game.
Some other highly rated games are Perspectives (7.7), The Adventures of Robin Hood (7.6), Sleeping Gods (8.1), Ghost Stories (7.3), Horrified (7.6), ALIEN: Fate of the Nostromo (7.1), Paint the Roses (7.3) and Stardew Valley (7.4).
Foster the Meeple has a good video review of co-operative games. Before You Play recommends The Game (6.7).
