@eldang My recent favourite is Calico (although not collab; you make a quilt by matching patterns/colours). If you're 4 or more ppl, Magic Maze is fun (less so with only 3, which is our usual group). It's collaborative (but no talking allowed) and the story is you're a rpg party pilfering supplies from a mall before you go on a quest … 😁

I also like Spirits of the Forest and Photosynthesis (also not collab, but at least not colonial themed) but I never get to play because the other ones are not so fond of them (they are not very fast-paced games) … 😒
