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?
Some games I like:
Spirit Island - Co-op game that's very complicated. You're spirits working together in defending an island from colonizers. 1-4 players.
Wingspan - A 'euro-game' where you add birds to your habitats to earn points. Competitive, but with only helpful interaction between players. 1-4 Players.
The King Is Dead: Second Edition - A low-stakes 'abstract strategy' game that plays pretty quick. Players compete for influence between factions fighting for control of Britain. 2-4 Players.
Paint Chip Poetry - Less of a game and more of a creative writing exercise. You combine paint chips to make poems responding to prompts. 1-6 Players.
The Mind - Mini-game where you silently order cards numerically using telepathy. 1-30 Players.
Tussie Mussie - Pocket-sized game about the meanings of flowers. 1-4 Players.
