The State of 2D6.org

If you’ve been wondering “where’s the new content lately?”, here’s a short explanation…

Since the middle of May, most of Ashly and my efforts have been going into determining what the next step after graduation entails. We’ve decided that we’re moving to Denver Colorado, and as such, have been pretty busy wrapping up our lives in Bloomington Indiana. Between finishing graduate work, finding future employment, packing, and wrapping up projects with our current employers, we’ve been left with very little time to play board games, let alone produce reviews.

5 Board Games for Couples

Some time ago, Ashly and I were sitting around the apartment, trying to find something engaging to do that didn’t involve sitting in front of the TV. Having been an avid board game on an extended vacation from the hobby, I thought that perhaps grabbing a gateway board game or two could provide a good change of pace.

Ten months later, we can safely say that we’ve played a considerable amount of games together, many of which were 2 player focused. Of the games that we’ve played, enjoyed, and continued to play together, the following games are our current favorites.

Tobago Review

Unlike any game that we’ve played before, Tobago incorporates a location-deduction mechanic that requires each player to lay a series of cards in order to isolate where a given treasure is NOT. Now you may be asking yourself, “how is that useful?” Well… as my primary school math teacher would say while in between swigs of brandy from his flask (true story), “finding where something is not, allows you to deduce where something is!”

As much as I may disagreed with the fellows methods, his tutelage would better prepare me for hours of alcohol induced fun with this week’s game.
