Board games for 2

[Beaverfeaver2]

Can anyone suggest any board games suitable for two people?

We are going away for a week and plan to just lock ourselves away from the world.

So many board games only suitable for 3+ people

Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Thunderbirds, Carcassonne, Takenoko, Dinosaur Island, Fluxx, Chrononauts, Bananagrams, Labyrinth, Mapominoes,

7 Wonders Duel. Designed for two people.
Fluxx games, Carcassonne.
DC Rivals, a 1 vs 1 deck builder.
Star Realms.

Ticket to Ride can be played with two, but works best at 3 plus.

Rummikub, Trionimos, Sequence.
Enjoy!

Can't believe Scrabble hasn't been suggested yet

My OH won't play me at Scrabble. He sort of gets this look and then the board gets nudged somehow.

It was the time he tried to cheat by palming the Z. I laid my last tiles and crept ahead, he then triumphantly waved his last 2 tiles and crowed "yes but you didn't get the Z"

I then pointed out his final tiles needed to be added to my score.

Chess. Draughts. Backgammon.

We play chess a lot but it's getting a bit boring. And we have cards.

Has anyone heard of othello?

Othello is a favourite in the Callisto house! Along with Carcassone, Ticket to Ride, and Risk. All played two player here

Dobble

Kingdominos works nicely

We love Othello! and our current fave is Jaipur.
