There's tons of word games beyond just Scrabble now: Quiddler, Up words, Code names or Code Names Duet (that one combines strategy and useless knowledge!) There's also games based on different interests: Math games, puzzle games, deck building games (where you choose cards to add to your hand and slowly build up a "deck" to use), co-operative games, ancient history games, geography games... </p> <p>My husband and I sometimes watch a play-through of a game to see if we want to try it and to learn the rules easily. Table Top is a good show for watching games. We also check them out of the library and try them before we buy. But that's only because we already have a bunch at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-board-games-for-2-people#post-2902418 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 15:43:23 +0000 BadgerMom 2902418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Garland did a blog post a few years back.

I don't really know b/c we haven't actually played a lot of games. He has historically liked games that test your knowledge, like Trivial Pursuit, b/c that man knows so many useless facts. :) Scrabble would be up his ally too but not mine. I tend to like more strategy games. I grew up playing Rummicub with my grandparents so I thought that would be a good one but he didn't seem to get it. Maybe we should try it again. A lot of the games we've played over the years have been in larger groups.</p> <p>@brownepiano: I hadn't thought of checking out my library. Great tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-board-games-for-2-people#post-2902390 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 13:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2902390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Yahtzee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-board-games-for-2-people#post-2902381 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 13:35:28 +0000 graceandjoy 2902381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Jenga is fun :happy: </p> <p>We haven't played it in a long time, but we used to play Words With Friends on our phone, it was a cute way to stay extra connected during the day.

DH is a DC fan so I bought it for him a few years ago and its probably my fav game we have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-board-games-for-2-people#post-2902374 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 13:10:40 +0000 brownepiano 2902374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It helps if you know what kinds of games you like. There's a two player version of almost everything. Some that we have are:</p> <p>Lost Cities<br /> Five minute dungeon<br /> Rivals of Catan<br /> Seven Wonders Duel<br /> Terraforming Mars (4 player but works with two)<br /> Imhotep (4 players but fun with two)</p> <p>I check stuff out of the library often because I like trying new games more than I like playing the same thing over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-board-games-for-2-people#post-2902373 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 13:05:19 +0000 HappyBaker 2902373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!

What are you favorite board games that you and your SO can play? </p>
