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? :)

  • If you’re looking for something light Coloretto is one of my favorites, and it’s good with 3, and there’s a good 2-player variant (though you may need to find it online, it isn’t in my old printed rules).

    Cubirds is another game that works great 2-player but goes multiplayer.

    Both of these are on boardgamearena.com if you want to try before you buy.

    Are you specifically looking for games that do both, or are you also interested in 2-player game recommendations?
