Suggestions please: Low-mid difficulty/complexity, collaborative fantasy/adventure/strategy board game or RPG. (lemmy.world)

Played out Monster Mayhem card game within a month or so. Bought Castle Panic and was a great fantasy intro board game, simple to learn with just enough strategy to keep it interesting for older folks but it's about run its course.

Looking for suggestions 2-3 can play together mix of youth and adults, ideally collaboratively. Basic-level RPG or strategy fantasy/mystery/adventure, small group of 3 max so not really a "DM" situation type game, all would be players.

TIA

Talisman is super fun and easy to play. There are a bunch of versions and new ones every few years. I also own a ton of the expansions and made a bunch of home brew characters. The base game is solid enough thou.

Thanks, just watched a play-through of it, looks like a perfect level of difficulty but it's competitive though rather than collaborative, which is what I'm looking for.

Collab huh? We've played Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion. Gloomhaven is massive but the Jaws of the Lion is a way smaller stand alone expansion. There are companion apps that help speed it up. The other co-op games we play are Zombicide, Mansions of Madness and Arkham Horror. If I remember correctly the last 2 can switch from collab to where one person can win. All of them are a blast.
