What are your favourite 2 player games??
I have tried so many times to watch your videos because I want to know about couples games and close the video before the intro is over. Maybe just make a karaoke channel?
my top 2 player games would have to be mythic mischief, super fantasy brawl, I think I like too many bones predominantly at 2 but that might be just because that ones not super fun to teach. i think once six siege actually comes that will be my top 2 player game though.

One of my top two player games is carcassonne the castle. I enjoy carcassonne a lot but the castle being only 2 player and within a boundary seems to just make it a tighter game.
Jeff how could you forget dice throne? At least Jamie never lets us down, always repping Dice Throne.
Radlands is awesome with multiple use cards.
Castles of Burgundy……..classic.
Unmatched is fun with amazing art.
Res Arcana is a great little combo generator.
I'd have to throw in Memoir 44/Battlelore (whichever your preference), Targi, Land vs Sea, Santorini, & Mr. Jack.
This video would've been much more epic if you guys dressed up as bananas in pajamas π

0) Battle Line
9) Jaipur
8) Onitama

Star Realms
Race for the Galaxy
Dominion
Foster the Meeple Disney Villainous singalong episode inbound.
so funny, what you guys love in 2 player games is exactly the oppositeof what we love… we really enjoy the coop side of two player games and working with each other instead of against
I really need to figure out why I donβt like Res Arcana??? I think Iβm missing something in the strategy?? Anyway side question – where did you get your new sweater!!! π€©Love those sleeves. So cute!!!
Silver Bullet has become a weekly staple at 2 for us. Sleeping Gods is top tier co-op and 2 player is ideal. Arkham Horror the card game is ruthless and so thematic. And good old Everdell – I prefer it at 2 but it's great always.
I canβt believe I was such a fool. Tuned in thinking itβd be maybe 12 or 14 games. But of course for 2-player games you each have a top 10 plus honorable mentions π. My wife and I would mostly just be overlap
Let's have a look at the games I played from your list: First of all, Undaunted: Normandy is sooo great. I was opposed to the theme, but the mechanisms are so great. I have been enjoying Radlands, too, I need to try it again. Castles of Burgundy is my favourite Feld, I am really enjoying it, and unmatched now I want all of it. Ashes is so fun, and the artwork is amazing, I have the first edition though, but I love it… was the first game I remember buying for myself at the FLGS. Agricola is fine, but I prefer Caverna or AFFO. Fort was nice and cute, my partner did not overly like it. Dice Throne is the best as a "pull from the shelf after work and set up in 2 min and play in half an hour game"… Love it! As you know, I love Res Arcana! and I am surprised there is no Villainous on your list. Not even as an hounarable mention.
Some of our favorite 2-player games are Hanamikoji, 1 Wonders Duel, Onitama, War of the Ring, Arkahm Horror the Card Game, and, believe it or not, Fury of Dracula.
For me Too Many Bones even though I mostly solo but would rather my wife play it with me
Ark Nova
Dice Throne
Sleeping Gods
Cascadia
Vagrantsong
I would add summoner wars as well but wife not a fan of head to head battles but that is so far my favorite we have played. A lot of variety and strategy
Jeff – which game did you throw out to put Innovations in. My wife and I love to play Wingspan.
My wife and I play Cascadia, Calico, Paint the Roses, Dice Throne, and Azul at 2 Players. I just picked up Dungeons, Dice, and Danger which has also been a good time. Fort is one of my favorite games but we like it at 3 players.
We pretty much play all our games at two players. Our favorites: Mind MGMT, MicroMacro, Decorum, and Paris La Cite de la Lumiere.
Great video as always. Some games my wife and I enjoy at 2P include Cascadia, Calico, Funfair and Paris City of Lights, but current favourite has to be Caper Europe – LOVE that one!
Iβve been really high on Summoner Wars 2E lately for favorite 2P. I had never played the original so this was a great jumping on point for me. Really a fantastic design. The entire Undaunted range is absolutely incredible too.
Paladins at two
Silver bullet β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Still new to the hobby, so keep that in mind. But so far my wife and I really enjoy Unmatched, and Radlands. However our fav by far is Dice Throne. We have the S1 Rerolled Battle Box and the retail Marvel DT and love it all. Santa vs. Krampus is on the way! Also, I actually LOL'd when Jamie melted during Jeff's Agricola reveal.
Jeff my man you're looking good this video! Did you shed some weight?
My favourite 2 player game is Marvel Champions when I'm feeling co-op and Super Fantasy Brawl when I'm feeling bloodthirsty
Ankh: Gods of Egypt with two is AMAZING!
I'm surprised at how much you cooled on Silver. Thought it would be mentioned.
No cribbage, I am disappointed Jeff. Cribbage is my #1 fave 2 player game.
Summoner Wars, Memoir 44 an Targi, great video!
Awesome list! I do a lot of two player gaming, so finding games that work at that player count is always a major factor when buying something. To date, I'd probably say…
Honorable Mentions: Watergate, Unmatched
10. Spirit Island
9. Raptor
8. The Bloody Inn
7. Twilight Struggle
6. Disney Villainous
5. Ticket to Ride
4. Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion
3. Wingspan
2. Fox in the Forest
1. Vagrantsong
We Need MORE Barenaked Ladies songs on this Canadian channel!!
Air, land, and sea is great. Want radlands. Undaunted is also great. Now to finish video….
That was a nice video, my favourite 2 player game is Risk:Europe but the caveat is how long it takes to play, you need to agree that you are playing it for at least 3 hours.
Heya, great list, kudos for the Res Arcana pick π Some games that I like at 2: Jaipur, Claustrophobia 1643, Aeon's End, Caper Europe and Codenames duet.
Shobu, Sobek, Air Land &Sea, Mr. Jack Onitama, Hanamikoji and Jaipur
I agree with Jeff that I prefer Castles of Burgundy at 3 players. Not enough tiles out there at 2 for me.
I guess from watching past videos of yours I was super surprised that Silver Bullet was nowhere to be found. Not criticizing, just saying I had the impression it was an all-time fave for both of you.
Agricola π My favorite also Cascadia and Wingspan
In no particular order my top 10 are: Onitama, Dice Throne, Spirit Island, 7 Wonders Duel, Radlands, Castles of Burgundy, Jaipur, Hanamikoji, Patchwork, and Targi.
