Two person board games?
(hexbear.net)
My partner and I do a lot of board games together, and I have been looking for a 2 person game we can do together. I wanted to get it for them for the holiday present season. We prefer co op games but enjoy competitive games too if it's lightly competitive (like you can get points but can't easily take points from the other). Any suggestions for board or card games that you enjoy?
Splendor is great for 2 people. I personally love the simplicity of it and the fact that the coins are very tactile and it's satisfying to interact with them and flip them around while you ponder your move. It scales up to more people very well and I've not found a single person who dislikes the game.
Jaipur was also already mentioned. Solid game designed for 2 players.
Ticket to Ride is very well designed and my dad loves it. Easy rules.๐๐ TRAIN GANG ๐๐. Good scoring system that keeps it interesting to the very end.
Small world is also fun but I've never played it as a 2 player game. People say it works well like that, though.
Splendor has a two player release called Splendor Duel. Bit more streamlined and balanced for duos.
You know, I didn't even realize that. But the normal game plays great for 2 players on it's own.
All g! I've only ever enjoyed Splendor as a 2p game in any case.
