Two at the gaming table

Not always everyone has the opportunity to meet in a large company to play board games. Sometimes it's just the two of you at home. That's enough to enjoy great games!

Two-player games are a relatively popular genre. In addition, two-player games tend to vary widely, from investigative and multiplayer games to pair-based co-op games and tense duels between good and evil.

“Loved that game, want something like this for two players”

Perhaps you've played a game that's really stuck in your memory; great time with friends throughout the evening. Do you want to give something similar to a friend or a close person. First of all, it is immediately worth looking at the number of players this game is intended for, because it is possible to play it with two people. Carcassonne, for example, can be played very well in two-player mode - it's even a favorite way for a lot of players to play it. You can also play "Flamecraft" , "Winged" , "Pandemic" and many other games in pairs, which will also be great when friends come to visit.

If the particular game cannot be played with two players, then it is possible that it has a separate two-player version, in which the basic principle of the game is adapted specifically for two players. Often such versions are considered as good or even better than the original. One example is 7 Wonders , an excellent game for three to seven players, while 7 Wonders: Duel is a two-player version that many consider even superior to its titular big brother.

There are also custom two-player versions for Codenames: Duet , Saboteur Duel , Imhotep: The Duel , Splendor Duel, and more.

Investigate crimes as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

Even Sherlock Holmes, who is one of the most famous detectives of all time, relied on his partner Dr. Watson. That's why investigative games are usually best played in pairs!

Whether you choose one of the breakout games "EXIT" , solve crimes in "MicroMacro: Crime City" , look for the culprits in the world of "Chronicles of Crime" , play the role of a detective in "Detective: A Modern Crime Game" or any other investigative game, it's always nice to have your own Dr. Watson by your side, with whom you can unravel even the most mysterious events.

Magnetic battles for two

One of the hottest games of recent years is the magnet game "Kluster" . And not for nothing! It's a very simple but very exciting game where players try to be the first to place their magnets in a limited area so that they don't touch each other. But magnets, just like people, like to hug each other tightly. If the magnets stick together, they should be returned to their inventory. The first player to place all the magnets wins! New for two players -"Kluster DUO" .

Speaking of two-player magnetic battles, we can't help but mention "KLASK", which is a smaller format of air hockey, where players try to send the ball into the opponent's hole or goal with the help of magnetic dice.

Epic duels of epic heroes

Who would win in a duel, Robin Hood or Dracula? The Invisible Man or Jekyll and Hyde? Velociraptor or Spider-Man? There is only one way to find out - "Unmatched" !

"Unmatched" is a game system where each player chooses one of the heroes and performs various maneuvers and attacks with the help of cards to win the incredible duels.

Each set of the game comes with its own characters, all of which can be combined as you see fit. The game itself can also be played in two-on-two teams or up to four players, each playing for himself.

One of the most acclaimed dueling games , Summoner Wars, underwent an overhaul two years ago, and this excellent game is now available with polished rules and many different factions ready for magical duels.

Most trading card games are designed for two-player duels. In addition, most of them have special starter kits available to start your Pokemon trainer journey, Yu-Gi-Oh! shadow realm duels, Digimon battles or battles in Magic the Gathering worlds.

Throw and write down the games

One of the most popular categories of games that are excellent for two players are guess and write games. "Clever" , "Railroad Ink" and "Welcome to..." are a couple of options.

Also, if you're looking for a little gift for someone who already owns these games, it's worth checking out one of the small expansions. The games in the Clever series have new pads with different layouts, while Railroad Ink has purchasable dice expansions that each add a new die to the game with its own rules.
