One Stop Co-Op Shop is a podcast about cooperative boardgames. Game designers & publishers, Peter Gousis & Michael Kelley host the podcast. Every other week we take one game and break it down to it's top 5 points (the good, the bad and our overall impressions). After we discuss the game we have a design discussion about one of the parts of the game. We will also have occasional podcasts reviewing solo games, and other special episodes.
