As soon as a read that a game is three or more players, I feel a little pain in my heart. We can play a two player game any night of the week. Three or more player games require bit more work! So if you’re looking for games for two players, this is post is for you!
We are going to show you six of our favorite two player games. These games range from $20 to $45, so you can definitely find an option that fits within your budget!

If you’re a Magic the Gathering fan, you’re likely to enjoy this game. It was created by a former Magic the Gathering External Developer, Daniel Piechnick.
In Radlands, you are going through the apocalypse. People are gone, resources are minimal, and the competition is pretty intense! You will be dueling, by using people and event cards, to protect your camps from a pretty vicious rival tribe.
Be prepared for intense competition with this game!

Timeline is a game for the history buffs of the world. While this is a two player game, it plays up to six players. Get you a game that can do both!
Timeline has a multitude of versions, but Classic is a good place to start because it encompasses multiple themes within one game. This is a trivia game where you are trying to decide the order in which historical events happened. These events can range from the creation of the pencil to when George Washington crossed the Delaware. The first player to get rid of all of their cards is declared the winner.
No matter the extent of your history knowledge, this game is great for everyone!

Patchwork is truly a unique game that mixes strategy, puzzles, and quilt making!
It truly captures the skill that patchwork requires. You are drafting fabric patches to build the most aesthetic quilt on your board. The pieces you can work with are pretty variable, so you have to lay out your board pretty carefully. The goal is to get the best patches and gain a collection of buttons.
This game comes in a huge variety of versions (Halloween, Valentine’s, Americana, etc.), so you’ll never get bored. We definitely own a few versions!

Cosmic Encounter Duel is the perfect game for people who love something a little heavier! We play this anytime we can’t get a big group over for game night.
Players are dueling for the right to become a Certified Civilization under the Cosmic Citizenship Council. You are racing against your opponent to gain control of five planets. Each player has their own set of alien abilities that can help benefit them on their journey, but tricks and traps are hidden about to cause you harm.
You never know what this game has in store for you!

Hive is the game that always comes with us on our park dates!
If you are into strategy games like chess, you would love this game. Each player has 11 tiles that represent five, different bugs. The goal of the game is to trap your opponent's queen bee. On you turn, you’ll add a bug to the board or move one of the bugs you already have out. Each bug has its own pattern of moving around the board, so you never know what to expect of your opposing player. Even though you have to plot out your movements, it is still a pretty relaxing game to play.
Hive comes in different versions, so you find a color palette that vibes with your aesthetic.

If you love a simple, strategy game, Nowhere To Go is your man!
In Nowhere To Go, you are playing as a spy trying to trap a rival spy. You are moving your spy and placing blockades around the board. It is a short and simple game, but we find it so addicting.
