Looking for 2 player game suggestions (lemmy.world)

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).

This is really strange because I've been googling this exact question for the past two days. So, I guess it's my turn to return the favor.

My wife and I play games constantly, and the kids are getting older and leaving us playing one on one more often. The ones that we play the most are Silver, Boss Monster, Machi Koro, Heckmeck, and Dungeon Mayhem.

They are all pretty simple games, quick set up and tear down. That seems to be what we lean into.

Oh, as for my search, the consensus seems to be that the best two player game is Jaipur. I can't vouch for it yet, as I haven't played it, but it should arrive tomorrow. 😁

It is. I'm a big fan, but have lost my copy.

Jaipur is very good. I’m always down to play and wife usually wins so it’s a bonus
