This chapter discusses the concept of cooperative gameplay in video games, highlighting the importance of communication and collaboration. They compare different types of co-op games and mention examples like Journey, Flow, and Flower. The chapter also explores a new game with 50 characters and discusses the excitement of playing it with more players.

It's the special time of year when families gather together to eat turkey, watch football, and play video games. With perfect timing, two new local (and online) multiplayer treats have appeared on digital store shelves. We open the episode with Alien Hominid Invasion, a sequel of sorts to the beloved '00s Flash game Alien Hominid. For the B-segment, we bump and bounce around KarmaZoo, a beginner-friendly co-op game that allows for up to 10 players -- and features a special local multiplayer mode! Plus, we open the reader mail bag, then share a classic Ghibli movie and a bold Ghibli adaptation.
