Beacon Patrol, a Cooperative Digital Board Game, Will Sail Onto Steam in 2025

Digital board games can be tons of fun, especially when they're cooperative. That's what's in store for Beacon Patrol from Shapes and Dreams and Assemble Entertainment. Based on the real-life board game by Torben Ratzlaff, Beacon Patrol has players work together to explore a map and create a network of coastal paths, all by placing tiles. It's a lot like Carcassonne and Kingdomino, but set on the high seas. The upcoming Steam version will support 4-player local co-op, and there's a single-player demo right now.

A demo has recently arrived on Steam, and the game will come to both consoles and PC later this year.

Co-op Sci-Fi Strategy Game 'The Captain is Dead' Gets a Major Steam Upgrade

Manning a starship across the uncharted reaches of space would be dangerous business, as over 50 years of Star Trek have shown us. Alien invaders, equipment malfunctions, and all manner of duties are perfect fodder for a cooperative game, however. The Captain is Dead, a videogame adaptation of a popular co-op board game that launched early this year deals with all those problems and more. And thanks to a major update this week, the game's version of space travel has just become even more vast and engaging.
