Sunshine,
Thanks for the recommendations (+1.) Unfortunately, with being basically unofficially medically retired (not enough strength/endurance to have any real income, taking money out of our retirement fund to live) those prices are out of my reach. Free to $10 is more along the lines of my budget.

I'm not sure whether your first suggestion was tongue-in-cheek, but it was very intriguing: I don't remember ever seeing any games which were cooperative. Usually it's a competition to try to beat the other players. I told Mrs. ChEng that I wished that we had the $50+ to order that game, just to see how a cooperative game would work. She mentioned that Jumanji was cooperative - the players worked together to try to stay alive.

To which I replied that this was only in the movies; in the game, you still try to beat the other players.
Ironically, just a few hours after I ordered Parcheesi for my wife, we were going through some of our old stuff, and she found a Parcheesi game. Oh well, I guess that two Parcheesi is one Parcheesi, and one Parcheesi is none Parcheesi.
