Two Players, One Victory: The Co-op Experience

In this lighter, more personal entry in the Gambit developer diary series, Community Manager Carol introduces herself—and makes it clear that her love for board games runs deep. As the frontline connection between players and the team, Carol is here to talk games, share excitement, and help build the Gambit community from the ground up.

Carol wants to know, “What do you like most about cooperative game play, especially with asymmetric factions? What part of it gets you excited for a video game?” ” Join the discussion on Discord to add your answer!

• A Lifelong Board Game Fan:
  Carol lives and breathes tabletop gaming—whether it’s chatting endlessly on Discord, sharing board game photos, or creating content for fellow fans of publishers like Stonemaier Games.

• Why Gambit Clicks:
  What excites Carol about Gambit is its unique ability to blend the worlds and stories we already love from the tabletop space—creating something new, collaborative, and full of fresh surprises.

• A Crossover Dream:
  In Gambit, you’re not just stuck with one universe. You can mix and match. Carol imagines playing as the bird faction (inspired by Wingspan) while her friend Tyler brings in the brawny Vikings from Champions of Midgard. Together, they battle the Obsidian King—Carol’s birds healing and supporting while Tyler’s Vikings punch their way through enemy lines.

• Strategy Meets Personality:
  Each faction brings something different to the table—from brute strength to sneaky utility—and it’s up to players to spend focus points wisely and coordinate strategies each round.

• Join the Conversation:
  Carol’s main stomping ground is the Gambit Discord, where she’s ready to talk factions, share updates, or just geek out over what you’re playing.

“Hope to see you in the Discord—and in the game!”
