Games which do not end friendships, but strengthen them. Games where working together works and loners fall behind.

Can be something simple like The Game or reach any complexity level. Coming to think of it, bring on the complexity. 🙂

I think that any cooperative (co-op or coop) game would fit the bill.

My favorites are Pandemic & all Pandemic system games if you like the themes or any of the Gloomhaven games (my favorite is the Jaws of the Lion).

Jaws of the Lion is awesome. It's pretty complicated to run, and you'll probably want to download a third party app for managing monster and player health and effects in combat, and a spreadsheet for tracking inventory and XP.

Not strictly co-op (it's 1 vs all), but your post reminded me of Jaws. Not a great game, not terrible, but it hits nostalgia notes for me so gets a pass on some of the clunkiness.
