I love 7 Wonders: Duel. Anyone who has played 7 Wonders can attest to it’s great gameplay, and this is the version made specifically for 2 players. Your goal is to get as many points as possible by doing a variety of tasks that add up at the end of a game, like furthering your army, building a 7 wonder, better scientific research, most money, etc. It’s hard to see who’s winning as you play but you’re trying to get more than the other still. Then there’s also always the possibility of someone winning by trumping the other: fully defeating with their army or fully defeating by increasing scientific research. It’s way more fun than it sounds to play, I promise

A few recommendations for two-players that no one asked for (which honestly you'll probably see on a lot of recommended lists): 1) Star Realms - fast deckbuilding game with space/starship theme. Easy to teach, easy to learn, and teaches the basics of deck-building. 2) 7 Wonders Duel - "Civilization" building game where you accumulate victory points based on science, military, etc. I've introduced this game to some people who have gotten hopelessly addicted to it. 3) Air, Land- & Sea - Extremely fast military-themed game where you are trying to win at least two out of three "theaters of war". EXTREMELY easy to teach and learn, but also lends itself to some mind games and meta-strategy. Aka simple game with room for complex strategy. 4) Onitama - chess-like game where you're either trying to capture the opposing side's master or get your master to the other side of the board. Movement based on cards set at the beginning of the game and constantly cycle throughout the game. Very thinky but fun.

I am an enthusiast for the popular 2-player game Blood Bowl. It's a game of American football, except it's anarchy, meaning that there are no "downs" and the goal is just to grab the ball and get it to the end zone. The twist is that it's fantasy, and you can play as elves, orcs, goblins, and a bunch of really flavorful races. You can run a team in a league and level up your players as they gain experience from matches. You can also suffer permanent injuries and deaths to your players. It's very violent and epic. No game of Blood Bowl is the same, and this is a game that I highly recommend getting into. It's not that beefy to learn the basic rules, actually, but it gets slightly beefier as you get into league play and coaching a long-term league. It's easy to understand once you get the hang of it, though - great game!

Missing, for me: - Schotten Totten, great little fun 2-player-only game - Ethnos. Very versatile game up to 6 players. Works surprisingly well with two players and every game plays out differently. Also surprisingly un-complex for the amount of stuff it has. - Pandemic Legacy. Maybe the most engaging board game out there. A campaign game with one game representing one month in a year. Played season one with my wife and we had a blast. Somewhat complex but mainly heavy on the thinking, as every move can have major consequences for both the game and the whole campaign.

@@adumba3709 Yes, it totally is. It's the same principle but you have missions to complete every session, your characters can "level up" with special perks, some damage and progress carries over to the next session, more buildings, character types and actions are introduced etc. - Long story short: It's a campaign. You play multiple sessions (1-2 for every "game month", so 12-24 sessions in total), some progress carries over and the game itself as well as the mission objectives get more complex every game month. :) What needs saying as well: You can play the total of the game exactly one time. Without A LOT of work during the actual playthrough, it can't be played as a campaign a second time - but at least the first one can be played as a normal Pandemic game, as long as you ignore the modifications made to the game board. :D

I can attest to Codenames, Specter Ops, Pandemic, Scythe, and Root being fantastic. Root and Specter Ops are really popular for my siblings and I, including honorary siblings and sisters-in-law. I can't say I've even been so stressed playing a board game as I have as the Agent doing an infiltration op in Specter Ops. It feels like a very unique experience with how legitimately terrified you become as you try to complete objectives without being found out by the Hunters, hot on your tail almost constantly as they try to anticipate your hidden movements. Root is a forest territory game with animal factions that feels fun with a bunch of players, even if you don't win. Sometimes it's really enjoyable to merely help other players or just perform your factions tasks to act as a branch of an ecosystem. It's very charming and there's plenty of victory conditions, overall.

Here are some of mine: Exactly 2: Onitama (Sensei's Path is a must, Way of the Wind less so but still great) - You have five pieces, a sensei and four students. Either get your sensei to the opponent's sensei's starting spot or capture the other sensei. Each player has two cards, and one is in the middle. You play your card, move any of your pieces to a valid spot on that card, then trade that card for the one in the middle. There's also a free app on Google Play. Air, Land, and Sea - WWII theme. There is an 18 card deck, six each of Air, Land, and Sea vehicles/soldiers. Each player gets six cards, then one player gets a player order card. On your turn you can play a card to a matching combat theater, play a card face down in any theater, or retreat, giving your opponent a portion of the points of the round. The trick is to mitigate your losses and learn how to use the card abilities to manipulate the side your cards are on. This is how you get battleships and tanks in the air. Star Realms: As weird as it sounds, the base game is very technically only a 2 player game, and the way you expand it is by getting a second copy. Very basic, but effective, deck builder where you're directly attacking your opponent's "authority." Has some great expansions. Crystal Clans: A great area control/squad management game that has a unique "initiative" turn system. You basically wager turn length to summon bigger cards and do bigger attacks. Great with 2 Pipeline: Rebuild a government's horribly inefficient oil pipelines and make as much money as possible in the process. Exceptionally heavy, but very pretty. Spirit Island: Anti-Catan. Invaders are colonizing your island and you need to scare them off by rousing the natives into fighting and using your powers before the island is totally blighted and colonized. Oceans: A spinoff of Evolution. Make fish and evolve them into better fish. Has a lot of MtG influence. Near and Far: A gorgeous storybook game with an atlas of missions. Plays kind of like a racing game, and a bit of a point salad with a campaign. Excellent art and compelling writing, and even has an arcade mode so if you just want to pick up and play a game. Thunderstone Quest: Diablo but a deck builder. On your turn you either go to town and upgrade your deck and heal or go to the dungeon to fight monsters. Kind of an oddity in that the retail edition is missing a LOT of content compared to the kickstarter, but worth tracking down the complete set. Thanks for wading through this massive comment. Hopefully you found something you'd wanna play.

I'd add these: 2-player only - Jaipur Set collection, where you're trying to gather sets of goods to get tokens. Additionally, you're trying to balance sets of 3, 4, or 5 which result in more points with getting set tokens which reduce in value as they get eaten up. 2-player only - Mandala Abstract set game, where you place one of 5 colors into a shared area (and draw more cards) or into a personal area on two battlefields (Mandalas). Colors can only appear once, and then the Mandala is destroyed after being completed taking from the shared space based on each players private area. The first card of each color taken is placed in a score area, which dictates color value (for instance, yellow may become worth 1 to one player and 5 to the other). Other cards go into a cup area hidden from your opponent. Plays quickly, but it's about blocking colors and timing. Great game for two. 2 or more - Concordia Thematically lacking, but mechanically elegant. As houses of Rome, you must expand and build production houses throughout areas of Rome. Actions are performed by various personalities, and over time you'll expand to include more personalities. You'll then score from those same personality cards for performing certain actions (For instance, one might be getting more and more colonists to expand and focusing on Mars personality cards for endgame, which give you points for each colonist per card). The game feels light but tense the whole way through.

Thanks for the video! Some really great picks! A few more 2 player only games that my wife and I like to play outside of the ones you mentioned: The Fox and the Forest - Light trick taking game where the odd cards have various 'powers' and you only want to win so many tricks before it starts effecting your score negatively. Odin's Ravens - A pretty light racing game where you use Loki's trick cards to give you a leg-up or to use against your opponent. Fugitive - A portable hidden movement game where one player is the agent and the other the fugitive. Lost Cities - Laying down cards to go on expeditions, but you want to make sure you have enough. Scoring is a little mathy, but there's a good app out there. As for solo to 4 players, I'd add the new Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion for a dungeon crawler with a neat card initiative system. While I could list many more, this stands out to me because it's a new and lighter version of Gloomhaven that sets up very quickly and contains 25 scenarios. You're basically setting up a RPG video game on your table with the first 5 scenarios even being the tutorial, of sorts.

Spirit island is one I love that’s great with 2, and we also enjoy Raiders of the North Sea at 2 and 3. Our preferred deck builders are Hero Realms and Shards of Infinity as opposed to Ascension. Kingdomino plays amazingly at 2, 3, or 4, and is a great one to play over FaceTime with others if they have a copy- we sent copies to about 4 couples when lockdown started and we played over a dozen games in lockdown! Lastly, Hanabi is a great game at 2, solid couple mind reading game :)

It's even free to play with others on Board Game Arena if that's what you need.

We recently graduated to non-house rules, though, now that we're familiar with the game.

Star Realms is one of the best 2 player Deckbuilding games I've played. I could never really get too much into Ascension or games like it because play felt so divorced from the other player. In Star Realms, you actually have to defeat the other player rather than just 'earn more points' than them.

Highly recommend Carcassonne: The Castle as a two player (only) game! It's fairly light but pretty fun and does require some strategy. The gameplay is basically that you're using randomly drawn tiles to build a city within the walls to get points. I've found you can make it into a 3-4 player game too if you have some spare pieces (I use Risk armies but any meeple does it).

my 2 player recommendations are: -shards of infinity: deckbuilding game that i consider extremly fun and quick(20 min per game) -hero realms: similar to the above but less chaotic, more strategic and even easier to learn -greedy kindoms: rock, paper , scissors with cards and great production. Easy to learn with alot of depth for all ages. Eccentially 1 player plays 3 out of 10 cards per turn to gain recourses and the other player does the same in order to stop the first from activating his cards -tiny epic galaxies: backgammon but very advanced/heavier and meaty with a cool space theme -fields of green: a card drafting, tableau building with a great farming theme. great for advanced couples that want something to play for 1-2 hours

I recommend: Castles of Mad King Ludwig It's a fun "building game" where you compete for resources with an opponent and race to the victory condition. You can play with up to 5 players, but 2 is just fine. I had so much fun with the pieces, I just sat and played with the pieces outside of a game just to build the ultimate castle. There's even a 1-player mode!

One of my and my gf's favorite games right now is Crimson Company. It's a "pure" two player game (although you can play it with more people if you have several copies) where the goal is to capture two out of three castles using mercenaries that you bid on. If an opponent matches your bid, you get the money back, plus what the opponent matched a cash advantage can quickly reverse. The other interesting gameplay element is that all cards have effects that can trigger and must happen, even if they're bad for you. (E.g. kill any card in this lane that is weaker than this card can very well result in you having to kill your own card)

Another good board game that works with up to 4 players but is great with two is a game called Kingdomino. So basically each player is the king of a kingdom and is trying to get land matching land tiles to get points. The land tiles are divided like dominos, for example one card might be half grassland and half forest or half mine and half swamp. Certain land tiles have crowns on them which are what allows you to score for certain land, and the more of the same type of land you get next to each other with more crowns, the more points you get. Another cool mechanic is that turn order is not set in stone, four land tiles are played out and you take turns selecting tiles to place in your board, if you select a less powerful tile, you get to go earlier next round and if you select a higher scoring tile, you’ll have to go later next turn. It’s a fun game and it isn’t that difficult to learn, and I would recommend it.
