8:40 - 10th Year edition is definitely one of the reason to love this game even more, and really shows that JG loves this game :D

Exit without the minimum of tips! I’ve tried unlock and didn’t understand it, gave it away. Also liked our first story of Sherlock Holmes consulting detective: irregular baker street boys. Micro macro is on my wishlist.

Other 2-player games I enjoy: Onitama (arguably my favorite game), The Fox in the Forest (also arguably my favorite game), Schotten Totten, Matcha (not a good game, but a game I'm still fond of), Hanamikoji, Royal Visit, Hive, Mandala, Jekyll vs. Hyde, Santorini, Jaipur, Quarto Play well at 2: Piepmatz, Village Green, Azul

All for Unlock (sorry Jānis)! Even though Exit has more of an escape room "feel", Unlock exceeds in storytelling and delivering escape room type (yes, I admit) experience in a full journey. I would play both, but my wife will always better pick Unlock series, because of whole experience together. But, I was a little surprised not to see Codenames Duet on this list, for I think it is definitely for couples (or just 2 players), because it works as a game, but also helps to get to know other person - how they think, what connections they see, etc. So it is not just game, but also a way to get to know player you are playing with. But that is just my thoughts.
@gruntsudens3 жыл бұрын
For me as well, storytelling is stronger in Unlock. I sadly have played Codenames duet only once. Somehow, in my book, Codenames only associates with a party game.
@krisscrims3 жыл бұрын
@@gruntsudens I agree with basic Codenames, its definately party game, but Codenames Duet is meant basically for 2 Players/couple. That is why I think it would fit here just fine. But that is just me. :)
