Answer 3

Get Mancala for sure.  It is a beautiful game, easy to learn and play, meant only for two people.  You can find a lovely wooden board with glass or onyx or special stones, or just get a cheap one at Walmart (even the Walmart ones are wooden).  My husband and I played it often, and loved it.  It is deceptively simple yet amazingly complex.

You might also consider cribbage, which is great for two people, or three or four.  All card games are popular and you might want to consider a poker set, very trendy right now.

There is a game called Barricade, which is fun if you can find it.  It is sometimes hard to find.

Chess and checkers are old standbys if you like those sorts of games.   If you don't already have one, get a Scrabble board that swivels - really neat, and the letters stay in place.

It is hard to beat Trivial Pursuit if  you can find a version that suits your interests.

Have fun!

Answer 5

Chess

partictulate  ( describle a word with out using it)

Answer 7

cranium is fun.  i would also suggest Mille Bourne - its a hard to find french game but worth the search.  Of course there is still all the old favourites (monopoly, life, risk, sorry, yahtzee).  Another fun one is Kings Cribbage (its a mix between crib and scrabble)!

Answer 8

Definitely Pictionary. I mean, if you're wanting party games.

Answer 9

Yahtzee keeps me entertained forever!

Answer 10

Settlers of Catan the Card Game is an excellent game for two people. My wife loves it and always woops my behind...Tannhauser is fun too, but a bit on the "male" side and Zeus and Hera is an entertaining card game too. If you don't mind the mess...Battlegrounds Crossbows & Catapaults is a blast, we got it for my son for Xmas and play it more than he does!

Answer 11

Monopoly is a good board game.

Answer 12

Hubby and I love to play backgammon!

Answer 16

I'd say monopoly or chess...theres this fun board game called Kadoo or Cadoo (one of them >.<'') its pretty fun and you actually have to move around everywhere to win.. :)
