We are a 2-person household, just my 10-year old DS and me. We both like to play games and would like more ideas for fun 2-person games. Board games especially welcome. We do play cards, chess, and checkers. I plan to get him Scrabble for Christmas. Are there other fun games out there especially good for 2 people?
Thanks. |

For board games, I recommend 10 Days In... (it's a series. there are multiple boards.)
I grew up in a two person family, and I remember playing a lot of poker, blackjack, cribbage, and rummy. |

My 10 year old loves Racko and I broke out Battleship the other day to play with her.

Rummikub and Colorku.
Colorku is Sudoku, using colored marbles instead of numbers. Although it is designed to be single player my son and I often tackle harder levels together. |

we just got Ticket to Ride Junior version and have been having so much fun playing it. My 6 and 8 year old picked it up really quickly and we've been playing it as a family. Its also made for 2 people and I am sure the adult version is more fun. you should check it out.

We play Quirkle as two player a lot - although more can play. It's like Scrabble, but with shapes and colors instead so there's no advantage based on vocabulary. |
