What is a good fun board game to get that you only need two players for? and why is it so fun?

Answer 1

The race is straightforward, woven around a simple story line about finding the lost king of Candyland. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most of which are red, green, blue, yellow, orange or violet. The remaining few spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters like Queen Frostine and Gramma Nutt.

Players take turns removing the top card from a randomized stack, most of which show one of six colors, and then moving their marker ahead to the next space of that color. Some cards have two marks of a color, in which case the player moves his or her marker ahead to the second-next space of that color. The deck also contains one card for each named location, and drawing such a card moves a player directly to that location's space on the board. This move can be either forward or backward in the classic game; backward moves can be ignored for younger players in the 2004 version of the game.

Before the 2004 version of the current game, there were three colored spaces marked with a dot. A player that lands on such a space is stuck (all cards are ignored) until a card is drawn of the same color as the square. As of the 2004 version of the current game, dot spaces have been replaced with licorice spaces which prompt the player landing on it to simply lose his or her next turn.

The game is won by landing on or passing the final square - the official rules explicitly specify that any card that would cause the player to advance past the last square wins the game, but many play so that one must land exactly on the last square to win. The 2004 version of the current game changed the last space to a rainbow space, meaning it applies to any color drawn by a player, thus clarifying any remaining controversy about how one exactly wins the game.

The classic game takes longer to complete than one might expect, because the location cards can send players backwards. Also, the dot spaces could force players to exhaust several turns without moving.

Answer 6

People already said most of the two-player games I can think of.

I recently got a two-player card game that it pretty fun.  It is called "Blink."  The cards have different shapes on them, which are different colors and amounts.  The object is to match the cards in your hand with cards that are face up on the table, by one of the three categories.  You are racing the other player, and you don't even take turns.  You just try to be the first person to put all your cards down.  Each game only takes a few minutes.

It is fun because it is fast paced and it only cost me $5 to buy it.

Answer 7

My favorite board game of all time is Scrabble, a classic.  I like it because I like word games, and I enjoy the challenge of Scrabble.  However, Mancala is a close second, because it is such an ancient game and is quite intriguing.  It has been found in cultures all over the world, is deceptively simple, yet amazingly complex.  It is well worth checking out.  Others that are great for two people include Chinese Checkers, Checkers, Chess, Cribbage (combination I guess of a board and cards), Connect 4, and for kids Operation and Concentration.

Answer 8

battleship and stratego are two fun games. They both take a little thought but if you are into diminishing another person at war then it is perfect for you! There are also countless card games that can be played with two players.
