Best Classic Board Games for Two
You can't go wrong with time-tested classic board games, many of which play perfectly for just two players. A game of chess is an engaging battle of wits and strategy. Checkers is a straightforward game that's easy to learn but has enough depth to absorb you for hours. Backgammon combines luck and skill with a fun, social vibe. In Scrabble, show off your vocabulary and spelling skills while learning new words from your partner. And in Battleship, tactically target your partner's hidden fleet to sink their battleships! The classics have stood the test of time for good reason.Cooperative Board Games for Couples
Cooperative board games, where you work together toward a common goal rather than compete, are a refreshing change of pace that encourage teamwork and communication between couples. In the tense thriller Pandemic, work together to contain viral outbreaks threatening the planet. Forbidden Island has you cooperatively seeking sacred treasures before the island sinks into the sea. Become ace detectives together in Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective as you solve mysteries through deductive reasoning. The Game of Life lets you navigate major life events as a team. And escape room games like Unlock! have couples combining their mental strengths to decode puzzles and break out of fictional scenarios. Cooperating against the game rather than each other brings out each partner's best.
