Spirit Island is a great coop game where you play slumbering nature spirits who have to wake up and kick all the colonizers out. There's some funny elements to the component designs as well; all of the tokens for the spirits and indigenous peoples are wood or cardboard, while the colonizers are white plastic.

Pro-tip: most boardgames have mods on Tabletop Simulator on Steam, which makes it a decent way to "demo" games before you go out and spend $50 on something you might not like!
