My partner and I do a lot of board games together, and I have been looking for a 2 person game we can do together. I wanted to get it for them for the holiday present season. We prefer co op games but enjoy competitive games too if it's lightly competitive (like you can get points but can't easily take points from the other). Any suggestions for board or card games that you enjoy?

    Hanabi is a great cooperative card game where you can't see your own hand and have to give your partner clues in order to play the right cards in the right order. I get it as a wedding present for people a lot and it hasn't destroyed any marriages yet.

    Jaipur is a lightly competitive trading game where you sell goods, you get more points for selling early and for selling more at once, so there's a tradeoff. There's also a camel collecting component.

      Those both sound like fun, thank you. Definitely interested in collecting camels

        If I had a nickel for any time someone told me I had too many camels, I'd have zero nickels, because you can't have too many camels.
