SKFM isn't here, so somebody has to defend Tay Sway's honor.
You might think so, but
#1 asked wife what happened to the dinosaurs and what extinct meant. He said his preschool teachers wouldn't tell him (they are learning about dinosaurs right now I guess).
So wife finds a YouTube video about what happened. She says the video was fine but #1 totally freaked out.
He started crying and going on about how all the dinosaurs ended up like Leroy (our dog that died last year). Started asking if people will go extinct and if Mommy and Daddy will go extinct. He was so hysterical he refused to go to preschool or leave wife's side because what if she goes extinct while he's gone.
So now he's sitting at home on the couch, catatonically watching a Mickey Mouse movie (something he hardly ever wants to do unless he's sick) and doesn't want to talk about dinosaurs ever again.
And thus begins the crumbling of his youthful innocence.
yeah her honor is beyond reproach
It is terrible

She's some sort of spokeswoman for Borden milk, I think.

You could tell him that if something makes you or mom go extinct, he'll go extinct too and everyone in it together and has nothing to worry about!
* Imperfect Information - This covers either hidden information that is strictly enforced (Hanabi) or randomized game states that cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy (Flashpoint: Fire Rescue). The Lord of the Rings LCG does this in an interesting way because each person is responsible for building their own decks, MtG-style. Since you did not build the deck, you probably won't know what possibilities your partners' decks bring to the table.
* Timers - You can only do so much in a span of time. Space Alert and X-Com uses timers to prevent one person from doing everything... a single human being simply cannot process and manipulate game elements in a sufficiently limited amount of time.
* Policing - You hand out penalties for quarterbacking. This is the one that I haven't really seen, but I'm told there are games where penalty chips are handed out for speaking out of turn or something like that.
Really, it boils down to table etiquette. Also, Quarterbacking shouldn't always be seen as a terrible thing in co-ops. It's a feature, in that this is often how people cooperate in the real world... at some point, you cede control to someone else's idea. Some people prefer to be guided when they play board games, too. In a lot of co-ops, the leader "role" is baked into the game. The Captain in Space Alert, the coordinator/captain role in Flashpoint, etc.
Another idea came to mind. I haven't seen this in a board game yet, but you can have a rotating leader role for each turn whose word is law for that turn, like The Resistance (which is a competitive game). No matter what the Quarterbacker says, they wouldn't be able to control the turn for that round, other than being loud and obnoxious.
