Welcome!

In this course, you'll learn 5 concrete and actionable tips for designing collaboration intro your games, apps and products.

If you're building a marketplace, social app, community-fueled product, or multi-player game, this fast-growing area of interactive product design will be a gold mine for you.

Here's an overview of the course. First you'll see videos covering the five tips. Then you'll take a quiz to make sure you understand the 5 tips. Finally you'll get access to optional videos and podcasts where I take apart products that use cooperative mechanics, and interview designers of cooperative products.

In this first video, I'll introduce you to cooperative game design - and give you a framework that will help you understand and apply non-zero-sum game design.
