What are your favourite 2-Player ONLY board games?

[hildenagels]

I didn't know Battle Line and looked it up, and learned that it has the same mechanism as Schotten Totten (also from Reiner Knizia), a game that I do know and own, and of which I like the funny artwork. And I enjoy playing it, of course. Unfortunately, for some mysterious reason my gaming partner doesn't like it, so I don't get to play it, as it really isn't suited to be turned into a solo game.
I have all of the games you name, except the last three. That makes Stellar my number 1. Thanks to you: thank you for introducing it to me in one of your videos.

1. War of the Ring (epic 2 player board game journey - I have shaking hands after each play)
2. Neuroshima Hex (fast 2 player game, each army has uniqe character)
3. Fields of Arle (fantastic farming open world game where you can do what you like)
4. Blood Bowl (if you want to play football, It's hard, serious football game)
5. Ninja: Legend of the Scorpion Clan (I really like this stealth game)

Honorable mension (because you may play with more players in game mode): Star Wars Imperial Assault Skirmish mode
(a game with great mechanics where your rebel squad can fights against an empire squad. If you love SW world and dreaming about dueling with Imperium, this game is superb!)

My fav 2-player only games:
7 Wonders Duel
Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small
Caverna: Cave vs Cave
Naga Raja
Imhotep: The Duel

Just acquired Duelosaur Island so looking forward to trying it out.

And my most wanted game is Curious Cargo.

I love that you guys don't coordinate your individual lists and that anything can happen when it comes time to reveal. Also, Dylann needs to free those glorious pandemic locks from under the hat!

[Kajuber]

Great List, and I have played all of them except Lost Cities.Not sure why that is... Another great game that's just a small deck of cards and a few tokens is Hanamikoji, definitely worth a look if you haven't as yet. I'm a fan of Duel, Undaunted and I'm warming up to Unmatched as well. Thanks for the video!

[piercefabruada]

Wow! Nice content! I also want to share this Lagim Card game that my family and I are enjoying. It's amazing that they actually came up with the idea of Philippine Folklore since it's kind of dying down a bit. It will surely educate future generations.

[lauramalmquist]

Dylann - I feel ya on the theme of "hive"...if there is a tile with a centipede on it, Im OUT lol

[FreeformRock]

Great video, it was really funny to see you share so many games in your lists!

[tmmw]

Stellar looks pretty cool, gonna have to check that out.

[FostertheMeeple]

LOVE THIS. We are two-player primary so thanks for this list. Agreed on Fox in the Forest, but tough to get it to the table as Jamie is still learning trick taking games (but she won for the first time today)!

7th Wonders I think speaks for itself at this point, great game!

Haven’t played any of these others but definitely want to check out Stellar and Lost Cities!

As always, great conversation and content - keep rocking it.

[BlessTheAlfredo]

Twilight Struggle would be #1 on my list of favorite two-player games

[MrHalstedt]

Have either of you tried Mandala? Easily the most played two player game in my collection

[henrikseglemgrydeland]

Inspiring video. Thank you very much. 13 days is a good 2-player game. It´s similar to Twilight Struggle, but lighter and faster. Still highly enjoyable!

[Tablenauts]

7WD is great! Other than that I’ve yet to play a single one of these 😅 definitely want to though! Great video :)

[gkpr]

Wow. Stellar looks really nice. I’ll definitely be looking into that.

Surprised not to see Raptor on your lists. It’s a great two player asymmetrical game that plays fairly quick (~30 - 45 min). Pretty simple rules, but lots of strategy.

[rgitzelify]

Now shopping for Lost Cities and Battle Lines... thanks! :-)

Interesting about Fox in the Forest, we are waffling over that, it feels more random than Jaipur. Perhaps we just need to play it more?

[Elizabethpacey]

Great lists - we play all of these - except Stellar - I have it - not got to table yet. Now I'm inspired to do so.

[oneysnyder]

Morels is a solid 2 player only card game. I got fox in the Forrest before Jaipur, so maybe I’m not tired of Jaipur yet, but would personally put it above fox. Both a great options though!

[Keindzjim]

Thanks for your great videos, you guys are great
