What's a fun one-on-one board game for a husband and wife?

Question

Focus is to enjoy the snippets of time when we have any

Answer 1

surf boarding

Answer 2

My husband and I play "Smart A.s.s."(take out the full stops to get the second part of the name, wont let me write it) its a trivia game which can be played by two or more, its new and we love it, some games go quickly, some long.

There is "Thinkblot" also a game for two or more. You have different ink blot pages and you write down what you see in them and collect points, can get very difficult. Its amazing when two people look at the same image and see totally different things

Answer 3

Chess,

Uno (I know, not a board game),

Boggle (I like Scrabble, but I wouldn't say it's "fun")

Don't know what else, but I'm looking forward to other users' responses!

Answer 4

Fabulous game, Carcassonne. It's rare in that it works well for two as well as three, four or (with expansion) five.

My bf and I sometimes play the play station together....You could always play Manopoly but that would take forever....sit and talk under the stars at night, that beats any board game

My husband and I play Cribbage.

Answer 9

Most board games aren't much fun with just two people, like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, or Life.  Scrabble is a good one, but mostly my husband and I play card games.

Lots of good answers, here is a couple more.  I'll stick with games that are not too lengthy...

Upwords (if Scrabble is too much or too long)

There are also more card  games; Skipbo is one that comes to mind.

Enjoy!!
