Co-op

Host a co-op night that survives

Roles, a stop time, and the game you switch to when the heist goes quiet.

Most co-op nights die in the lobby. Sasha's version has a stop time said out loud, a backup game that loads in under a minute, and roles assigned before anyone picks a color.

Neon Ferry is the current test. With a crew that talks, it is a 7.9 you will remember. With silence, it is a bad group project. Say who calls the route. Say when you quit the job. Do not 'one more' past the time you promised.

  1. 1Pick the game the day before, not in the lobby.
  2. 2Name a caller and a backup caller.
  3. 3Set a clock. Honor it.
  4. 4Keep a short game warm if the big one stalls.
