Great Board Games with Little To No Physical Interaction

by Leave a Comment

Today I'm going to be looking at tabletop games that limit physical contact during the games. Games where players don't share or touch the same pieces and where players can sit far apart. I am also going to share board game hacks to help make some games playable with less physical contact.

Limiting physical interaction is a great way to still be able to enjoy playing games while making sure to avoid the potential spread of illness.  [ READ MORE ]

by Leave a Comment

This past week in addition to trying a two player random dungeon in Gloomhaven, I finally got to try play the rather heavy game Arkwright which was quite the brain burner.

This past weekend my wife and I had a night out and as part of that we tried out War Chest which she had given me for my birthday. We also played some digital Onitama while waiting for our food to arrive.
My last physical game for this week was a game of Star Wars Destiny with Big G. [ READ MORE ]

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

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

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.
