If this sounds right, also try
Rival traders in a market, selling spice and silk and hoarding camels. Quick, tense and great for couples who like to win.
Dominoes, but you’re building a tiny kingdom. Fast, friendly and good with kids. The pick order adds just enough cruelty.
Fund expeditions with a deck of numbered cards. Push your luck or bail out. A two-player card game that has lasted for a reason.
Two people, one quilt each, and buttons as currency. Calm, clever and much more competitive than it looks.
