| My whole childhood was playing 2 player card and board games with my sister. There are so many.... Chess, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, Monopoly, Mastermind, Battleship, Boggle, Scrabble, Rummikub, Sorry, Rack-o, Yahtzee, Stratego, Risk. My kids also love these games as well as some newer games such as Qwirkle and Qwixx. Have fun! |
