Very deep game where also the downtime is very low. I also have to say that Concordia is a wonderful game. Very elegant design, nice balance of sophistication and accessibility. Similarly, I really like El Grande. And of course, when you find a game you like, plug it into boardgamegeek and see what else is recommended. At home we have been playing Terraforming Mars, and Root. Root is legit one of my Favorite games of all time.
Just started playing this recently. So if your group at some point want something new, but similar, Cuba Libre might be worth a look. What would you recommend to play 2 players for someone who has never even heard of the games in this post but really interested to try? I would say for new board gamers, Carcassone, Alhambra, 7 wonders, Ticket to Ride are all great intros to euro games.
They all work fine as 2 player games. I prefer actual boardgames as I like to get my hands on things and move them around. Also Shut up and Sit down youtube channel do very good game reviews. Theyve been around for years so most games are on their channel.
We only played the basics in our home monopoly, apples to apples, etc until we picked up Ticket To Ride a few years ago. It was easy to try with the ios app and very simple to pick up. We also really enjoy Carcassonne a lot as a two-player game, a little complex at first but super simple once you get the hang of it.
Before the pandemic, my partner and I would aways bring a deck of cards with us to bars, and would often play Gin Rummy with traditional cards, Skip Bo, ad Scopa. Anyone heard of this? Fighting Fantasy series inspired. Makes me wanna compose some dark ambient to be played in the background. My current favourite is Brass Birmingham! We come from a group where we played quite a lot of Catan with several expansions at once. However at some point there is still the thing of the dice.
