Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers

Description

This is the prehistoric version of Carcassonne, but uses the same wonderful tile laying mechanics. You get to hunt, gather, build camps and fish in this version. Always a hit - you'll want to play again and again.

Tigris & Euphrates

3 people recommended this item

Description

I love Reiner Knizia's games. This one is a little more involved than some of the others, but it is a wonderful Eurogame. It involves building civilizations through tile laying. In a great twist, the number of points in your weakest category at the end becomes your score.

Mr. Jack

First to recommend

Description

this game is quickly becoming a favorite among 2 person games. It is a great deduction game where one player is the inspector and has to ferret out who among the 8 characters on the board is Jack the Ripper, through a series of questions as the characters get moved around the board.

Ingenious: Travel Edition

First to recommend

Description

This travel edititon is designed for 2 person play, making it easy to bring along whereever you go. It's a tile laying game where consecutive dots of the same color earn points. Sounds easy.... and it is, but that doesn't mean it isn't challenging and fun!!! Simple mechanics, great game play.

DAO GAME

First to recommend

Description

this is a GREAT game - the simplicity of tic tac toe, but with a lot more strategy.

Dao is a two-player abstract strategy board game, which won the Mensa Select award in 2001. It comprises a 4x4 playing board with four playing pieces for each player.

The aim of the game is to arrange your pieces in certain winning formations before your opponent can. It is unique because any piece that is moving must move as far as it can.
