What were you introduced to recently, would you play it again, and what is a sentence that sums the game up?

Excellent haul! They are all thoughtful choices.

We recently got Hues and Cues too. It is the only one I haven't tried out of the three.

Great tip about the lighting. I'll gather all the lamps from the house for a multi-point lighting rig : -]

Jaipur is probably my favourite 2 player game! It really is a nice back and forward without being to nasty. I gave a copy away for xmas too.

Do you have any other 2 player recommendations? I'm always looking for ones me and the wife can play together.

what kind of games do you guys generally like?

co-op or competitive? weight?

[–] CMahaff 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't mind competitive, but I think she generally enjoys coop. Simpler is probably better as well.

okay cool here are a few we like my wife is fairly similar about co-op preference.

  • forbidden series (Island/desert/sky)
  • burgle Bros
  • hinabi
  • pandemic
  • space team

I posted some of my favourite 2 player games here:

https://lemmy.world/post/8449245

The others I like from that post are Radlands and Hive(pocket).

Others not in the thread that I like at 2P are:

Calico, Captain Carcass, Ghost Blitz, Bruges(re-skinned as Hamburg), Star Realms, Kanagawa, Land vs Sea, Lotus, Morels(aka Fungi), Niya(aka Okiya), and Regicide.

I've played all of these with my wife, who enjoys them too.
