Hello Beehaw!

As someone that enjoy playing with my spouse a lot I wonder which games are your favorites for playing with or against someone else. Our current favorites are:

  • Dominion
  • Res Arcana
  • Wingspan (still need to try Asia expansion)
  • Terraforming Mars

Unfortunately these listed games are competitive ones so I’m also looking to increase the list of cooperative games! We did play Aeon’s End Legacy but need to play the expansions.

    7 Wonders Duel is specifically a 2-player version of 7 Wonders, and it’s very well done. Familiar enough to anyone who has played the original while being entirely unique mechanically. I really enjoy it.

    Also, you mentioned it, but the Asia expansion for Wingspan is great as a standalone 2-player game.

    A few more that often hit the table with just the two of us:

    • Azul (any of them)
    • Sagrada
    • Parks
    • Cottage Garden
    • Patchwork (specifically for 2 players)

    Shogi. It’s competitive, but it has an excellent handicapping system. So it can be fun for two people at any skill level

    Our favourite: Arkham Horror LCG, Hero realms, Lord of the rings Journey in the Middle Earth, seven Wonders duel. We are currently playing Earthborne rangers. I also often propose war of the rings/twilight struggle/ other war games but they are tougher to sell :-)

      Thank you!! We really like seven wonders so we’re definitely looking into getting the duel version
