Wow married couples really begin to look alike after some time :-)

I absolutely love your videos. You don't only talk about the games and just showing their boxes, your videos actually show gameplay. That's so freaking awesome, all while delivering a laugh!

[blarneystone]

Lost Cities is still astounding all these years later. How Dr. K managed to fit so much tension and angst into a game with like 4 rules is beyond me. And then he did it again! (ST/BL)

I can tell that many of the conversations presented in this video were inspired by real conversations had by you and your partner. Very wholesome. 😊

I’ve seen several of these games recommended by other reviewers, but for some reason the way you explain them reveals which ones I’m interested in when I didn’t think I was before. Thanks!

[superthesam]

The Fox in the Forest has the same kind of “pick it up every evening after dinner” kind of vibe. Very low commitment, but a simple and fun card game for two that never feels like someone is intentionally trying to ruin your night.

Nice top 10. I also have a wife who likes lighter / shorter games

I'd put 1. Carcassonne (amazing with 2-3)
2. Patchwork
3. All Creatures
4. Santorini (it would be my number 1, but the others hit the table more)
5. Lost Cities
6. Tiny Towns (not best with 2, but still good and she loves it)
7. Red 7
8. Kingdomino (best with 2)
9. 7 Wonders Duel
10. Calico

Your analogies are insanely good. The way you were able to explain the emotions of Arboretum was a work of art.

[ThyAsianMan]

I think Radlands could constitute as a couples game. Easy to learn and setup. Over in half an hour. Usually really close and tight knit matches. It’s really damn good.

Just stumbled on your channel with the video for couples made 8 years ago. Then yt made me watch all your most popular ones but I didn’t know they were same person. Now back to here it’s crazy what 8 years does. Love how you never changed. 😂

[AhJong]

As exceptional as always - I’ve been working at a board game cafe for around 6 months now and have taught Patchwork 66 times, been an amazing success 65/66 of the occasions so an absolutely top recommendation!

[MrJmarzetti]

Definitely a good selection. I would include Jaipur, Air, Land and Sea, Hanamikoji, Seven Wonders Duel, and Splendor (duel...if you can get it!).

[Styrophoamicus]

Added a few to my to-buy list after this!
My additions are:
Star Realms - a very streamlined deckbuilder that's quick to set up and understand
Forbidden Island - This was the first game I played with my wife and it's a great intro to Pandemic-style co-op mechanics.
Smash Up - Easy to set up and play, but every game is different because of the different combination of factions you can play with
Truffle Shuffle - Rules are simple, but you're always in edge as to whether you should cash in your cards or hold out to get a bigger set, while hoping you're opponent doesn't get the card you want

7 years back you had done a video on games for couples and that too included Battle line, Arboretum, Patchwork and Sherlock Holmes. Good to see so many games continuing your top 10 couple games list even after so many years. And now even Lost cities added to the list. All these games are Classics and great to play.

[VoiceofFox]

Solid list. We own quite a few of these but these are all fairly confrontational. My wife and I love Castles of Burgundy which, although not exclusively 2 player, is generally regarded as playing best with two players and can be done in about an hour. It's competitive but can be played without actively screwing each other over and is just a really satisfying experience compared to a lot of 2 player-only 'filler' games. Splendor is also great with 2 players.

[davidbarny]

It's great to see Fungi (aka Morels) getting some recognition. My wife and I really enjoy that one. In recent memory, Caper: Europe is a very strong 2-player-only entry.

[stephene.]

Love these kind of videos..and your humor. Only problem is it leaves me wanting to buy every single game afterwards since these are mouthwatering reviews ;)

[ab-wuvp]

That was the most accurate and entertaining explanation of Arboretum I’ve ever seen. Love that game!

[bookwurmlibrary]

Nice list. We are both very passionate boardgamers. Our favorite games to play together are ark nova, terraforming mars and sleeping gods. (But we actually have whole board game nights lasting 4 hours or more with just the two of us.)

[EmpressJess]

I really enjoy all of your videos, but I think this one might be my favorite. I laughed so much, and wrote down a few games I've absolutely got to try like Fungi/Morels, Schotten Totten, and Arboretum. Thanks for all of the work you put into your videos!
