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).
Claim, a trick taking card game. Easy to learn, but difficult to master the tactics. Has many extensions.
Jekyll vs Hide, another trick taking card game. Twist is the players have different goals. Jekyll wants balance meaning both sides win equally, while Hide wants to win either none or all of them.
Otherwise I second Azul, Hanamikoji and 7 Wonders Duel that were mentioned already
