I’m looking for games which are for exactly 2 or 3 players. My wife, daughter and I played Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries yesterday, and it was so cool that the game was truly balanced around that exact number of players. Some combination of 2 or 3 tends to be who sits down at our table, and games that are best for 4 or 5 tend to not really work wonderfully with 2 or 3. Any suggestions? :)
Some friends of mine keep recommending Viticulture, and they’ve played it regularly as a date-night game with just the two of them. I haven’t ever gotten around to playing it, though, so I don’t know if it’s any good. It’s got a pretty respectable 8.0 on boardgamegeek, though.
