No games that lead to players being pissed at other players, even outside of the confines of the game. I've had that happen with, for example, Secret Hitler, so no Secret Hitler.

The Mind seems to do that. Hanabi does it to an extent.

I don't know if I'd considered it a board game, but the Forbidden Island game (and the others like it) spring to mind. The idea is that you and the other players have to work together to gather everything you need including the treasure you came for before the island you're on sinks into the ocean.

It's fun working together and I always thought it did a good job of incentivising that.

Seconding Forbidden Island/Desert/Sky. Island is what I break out to introduce new folks to co-op gameplay, then switch to Desert once they get the hang of it.

Pandemic hits a lot of the same notes, and can get really hairy at the end.
