Hi all, not sure if there's a better place in the fediverse to ask, but I'm looking for suggestions for a 2 player game. Something that is pretty quick in terms of set up, learning, and play. My go to for this scenario right now is the Tacocat game by the makers of Exploding Kittens, but I'd like to branch out and try some others if they fit the bill. Doesn't necessarily have to be for 2 players specifically but preferable if that's what it's designed for. Heck doesn't necessarily have to be a board game really, just something to play face to face (I mean, I don't really know what the alternative would be other than a straight up card game but that's why I'm asking for recommendations).

Patchwork! Nicely balanced and very replayable. Out quilt your opponent!

My wife and I have played a game of patchwork practically every night since we got it during pandemic. Love it!

I agree that patchwork is a good simple 2-player and the theme is kinda funny but man did I think that game was boring. We played two times and now its collecting dust.
