Awesome 2 player games

Upon request, here are some FUN 2 player games and a little description of them:

1. Micro Mutants: This can play 2-4 and is a dexterity game. You flick bugs to try and land on opponents bugs to kill them.


2. Hive: This is only a 2 player game. You have a hive of insects that all have different capabilities and you try to surround your opponents queen bee with your color of bugs.



3. Alhambra: This plays 2-5. You purchase tiles to add to your own Alhambra. Some tiles have walls and others don't. Having a long wall gets you extra points as well as having the most of each color tiles.



4. Space Hulk: This is only a 2 player game. The pieces of this game are amazingly cool! One side is the genestealers (alien) and the other are the marines (humans). Each piece can do something different. The genestealers are trying to kill the marines with sheer number and the marines are trying to get out of the scenario unscathed. The only con to this game is....it's expensive! Especially for just a 2 player game, but it is super fun, every piece to the game is intricate and sturdy, and the scenarios always change when you play. This makes for an exciting and different game every time!



5. Alien Frontiers: This can play 2-4. You have ships (dice) and can place them on certain docking stations depending on your roll. See Michael's earlier post of this game for more info.


6. Earth Reborn: This plays 2-4. This game is different every time you play it. There are different scenarios to set up the game board, it reminds me of a puzzle. Every time you advance to a new scenario, a new task or item is added. So the 1st scenario is basic and the 10th scenario is advanced. It is amazing!



7. MagBlast: This plays 2-8 and is a card game. I don't know about 8 players though. That seems like it would be a little long in play, but it's fun with 2-4. You have a command ship surrounded by your fleet of 4 ships. Each player is trying to blow up opponent's command ships to win the game.



8. Lost Cities: There is a card game that plays 2 player only and then a board game that plays 2-4. I will actually be posting about these two games in more detail soon. The basis for the card game is you have 4 different colors of cards numbered 1-10. You are trying to gain these cards to play in ascending order. The least number you use, the more negative points you get.

  1. I actually bought Lost Cities (the 2-person one) for Tyson's birthday and it is pretty fun! I am looking forward to hearing about the board game! Thanks for all the suggestions! We will start collecting :)
