Answer 6

I like playing Scrabble and Life.  If you get Scrabble, make sure you get the version with the turnable board and the lock-in grid because it could get a little frustrating if you don't.

Answer 7

Street Soccer is an excellent 2 player title that's quick to play through but it's a pain to find.

Goa is rather complex but it works well for 2 and takes about an hour.

Ditto for Candamir (people that don't like it usually play 3-4 player games, in which case I don't blame them for not liking it).

Blue Moon is an excellent card game that takes about 20 minutes to play.

Answer 8

Axis And allies one of the best games ever you should really like it
