What are some of the best two player board games for date night? – Ask The Bellhop

by 18 Comments

One of the first questions I answered here on the Tabletop Bellhop blog was "What are some good two player games?" This is, by far, the most popular post I've written. It's also one that I still get a lot of comments on. Many of those comments are asking me for more specific two player game recommendations. People want to know what are the best board games for couples, or games to play on date night.

Playing games is something my wife and I do together often. When we do have a night out without the kids it often involves a nice meal, some craft beer, and some gaming. Over the years we've found quite a few games that work great for when it's just the two of us. [ READ MORE ]

The Best Two Player Cooperative Games – Ask The Bellhop

by 6 Comments

Cooperative games are becoming more popular and are actually pretty common now a days. What is hard to find is a great two-player cooperative game. Even harder to find is a cooperative game that is two-player only.

“Looking for a good 2 player co-op. Specifically 2 player only. As a blind meeple asking this question I'd mentally discounted [many games] I play with sighted assistance. A game where the second player does something different but still interesting and where both parties can talk to each other would do.” [ READ MORE ]

What are some good two player games? – Ask The Bellhop

DragonGem from The Lobby, the Tabletop Bellhop Live twitch chatroom asks,

What are some good 2 player games?
Thanks for the question DragonGem and also thanks for taking part in our first ever live show.
This sounds like such a simple question, doesn't it? Something I should be able to answer easily and quickly. But it is actually not such an easy question as there are just so many possible answers. At first, I considered contacting DragonGem to have her narrow the question down but then I realized that I think it would be worth talking about just how many different styles of two-player games there are out there and showcase just how broad this wonderful hobby of ours is.
