I'd appreciate your suggestions please. They need to work well for 2 players in a shortish space of time, 30 to 40 minutes. So far I have Bananagrams, Scrable and Quirkle.

Azul works well with two.

Another vote for Exploding Kittens. Addictive!

My friend has a mancala set. Her teens and their mates love it. Games can be about 10 minutes so 30 minutes could have a best of three mini tournament.

Jaipur is good and is specifically for 2 players

Mastermind - the game where you guess a 4 coloured peg code. Really old but a classic.

An old game, but both my teens love Othello.

I love this too, easy to learn too

Fluxx (pick one that suits their interests).
