    Exploding Kittens. The NOPE card is my favorite. This game is truly hysterical. There's even a "bag of dicks" card.

    Did you get the Kickstarter version? My kittens meow.

    Did you see that they are putting out a new game called Bears Vs. Babies?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Add Pirate's Cove to my collection. Got it for Christmas and it's a fun game. Some interesting strategy with it, just need to have 3 or more to play it.

    We changed the rules on Stratego and let the bombs move. That's a fun little rule!

    Yes! Dominos is a go to and now I'm getting the kids interested in it. I'm a big board game fan, but my wife hates them so at least our kids love them :) My favorites were always Scrabble, Clue, Trivial Portrait and Adverteasing(?).

    Recently played Speak Out and Head Bandz and both were fun as hell, especially after a few drinks.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    By far my favorite board is and will always be S C R A B B L E. LOVE the game from my youth......Learned the two and the three words of the game which by far makes the game so much easier to play.

    We got Cards Against Humanity for Christmas and it is a blast!

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a game that's really fun for just 2 to play? Most games aren't that great without a group.

    I'd like something challenging and a little complicated but not crazy.

    Just got gifted an old school strategy game called Pente. And there is a solo version of play.. busting that puppy out tonight. From what I can see, it is the game upon which Othello was based. I could see you really enjoying a game like this. I'll let you know what I think.

    7 Wonders Duel could be an option. It's a revamped version of 7 Wonders, but specifically for 2 players.

    My wife and I will play games meant for more people, but modify rules/gameplay to make it better for just 2 players.

    I've heard really good things about Android:Netrunner; I own it, but I am intimidated by the manual and setup.
