The “big game in a tiny tin” Mint Series continues with Mint Cooperative, a co-op game that fits in a mint tin!

Work to deliver Mintopia City and the other towns of Mortimer County from the periodontal peril that is the Dominion of Halitosis!

The players, will be collectively trying to defeat the villain by making it through all of the Mayhem cards in the Trouble deck, utilizing each of their individual Superhero specialties and other randomized stunts, before triggering the end of the game.

To win, the players must reveal and process all of the Mayhem cards in the Trouble Deck without the Regional Panic Track meeting or exceeding 27.

 Designed by Jonathan Gilmour ( Dinosaur Island, Dead of Winter, Wasteland Express , Kids on Bikes, etc. ) & Brian Lewis ( Dinosaur Island, Dinosaur Island Totally Liquid ), and developed by Justin Blaske ( Mint Works, Mint Delivery ) & Mel Primus ( Penny Lane ), Mint Cooperative is a refreshingly light cooperative game for 1 to 4 players with easy-to-learn rules and exciting gameplay strategy, all in about 15-30 minutes.  

Its compact size makes it easy to put in your pocket and take anywhere. Coupling that with its approachable rules, Mint Cooperative is a great tool for introducing new players to the genre of cooperative gaming.
