And we are eagerly anticipating the release of the new Star Trek Expeditions co-op. Other 2-player games we enjoy include Dominion, Stone Age and Carcassonne.

I've seen other sites do couple games and it's nice to see some different ones here. My wife and I have recently been playing some co-op games like Pandemic and Castle Panic and fall back on a quick game of Blokus. -Tim <a href="http://buffalogamebuffsblog.com/" rel="nofollow">Buffalo GameBuffs blog</a> Nice game choices… I’ve seen other sites do couple games and it’s nice to see some different ones here.

In all honesty, the dynamic shifts to a degree that I think comparing a 3-4 player game to a 2 person game, is somewhat difficult to do - the experience and competition is dramatically different. I think that we like it so much because it's relatively quick with 2 players, does scale fairly well for what you get out of a two player game, and does force us to think about multiple aspects of a given strategy that we execute solely against one another. To each his / her own though. -Nick I definitely see your points about Tigris.

T&E is a great game, but I just can't play it with 2 players. Carcassonne (as already stated twice) is good for 2 players. My sister and her husband played Carcassonne on their first date and still play it to this day. I would also recommend a personal favorite: Odin's Ravens. While I noticed the rest of the games in this list were scaled down to 2 players, I think it is also good to include some 2 player ONLY games.

We've had fun playing Carcassonne and Dominion. Race for the Galaxy is a good game but I don't tend to have as much fun playing 2 player instead of 3-4.

Even though I really love the game, I just find it boring with two players. With my girlfriend, the games we enjoy the most when it's just the two of us are: Carcassonne, Attika, and Twilight Struggle (in ascending order of complexity).
