Two Player board games!!!!

[barms90]

Hello, what boardgames do you recommend for just two players???? Thanks

We've enjoyed Blokus. It can be played with 2 or 4 players.

Not necessarily board games but battleships, connect 4, guess who.

Cockroach poker
Exploding kittens
Pie face

Pylos
Quorridor
Patchwork
7 wonders Duel (which has some interesting expansion extras tio).

Jaipur doesn't have a "board" so maybe doesn't count but is a great game for 2 players.

Santorini can be played with 3 but works fine with 2.

Chess

Assuming that you’re not looking for anything too complex:

Cascadia or Calico
Patchwork
Arboretum
Azul
Jaipur
Kingdomino
Klask

Meatier games:

Everdell
Five Tribes
Agricola

Duel!

Azul. It's great! You can play it with up to 4 but we mostly play it with 2.

Othello. Really simple but strategic

We are a family of board game nerds. Here is a list of some of our favourites.

Race for the galaxy
The rivals for catan
Pandemic
Forbidden island - (Co-operative)
Forbidden desert (Co-operative)
Selfish
Codenames
Scuttle
Love letter
ninjitsu
Exploding kittens
Coup
Dominion
Space alert

Castle panic

Sequence
blokus

7 wonders duel
Ticket to Ride
Uno Flip

Dobble
Gin Rummy

Genius square
Genius star
pass the pigs
tsuro
blockus
Harry Potter defence against the dark arts

Love ticket to ride but I do think that’s better with 3 or 4 players.

The only one I would suggest that's not already on here is Monopoly Deal, a favourite in our house!

Scrabble

Trivial Pursuit

Fungi

Backgammon
Yahtzee

Azul
Splendor

Another vote for Dobble. And Othello.

Carcassonne - probably our favourite
P for pizza - really quick and easy but fun
Codenames (2 player version)

Hive.

Yy to patchwork spendour dominion and azul

Creature comforts (genuinely the cutest/cosiest game I know)
Lords of waterdeep
Gorinto

Star Realms (it’s just a deck of cards, good to pack for holidays)
Kingdomino
Carcassonne
Splendor
They can also be played with more than 2, except Star Realms
Love Race for the Galaxy but the mechanism’s a bit more complicated than those above.
