During this month of love (February 2015) we turn our hearts to two-player games. We discuss

  • Battle Line
  • Balloon Cup (now Pinata)
  • Lost Cities
  • Medici vs Strozzi
  • GIPF
  • TAMSK
  • Tally Ho

Nathan also laments his inability to keep up with Living Card Games and figure based games such as X-Wings.

We also discuss three games that at least one of us (Ryan) considers best with 2, even if they play more. 

  • Attika
  • Scrabble
  • Carcassonne

Kingsport Festival is steeped in art and lore from the Cthulhu Mythos. In the game you summon one or more of the Outer Gods or their minions in order to increase in Evil, Death or Destruction. The game is similar to Kingsburg but offers unique play.

The game is for 2-5 players in about 60-75 minutes. Ages 13 and up.
