Plays Well With Two

About Plays Well With Two

A pair of married board gamers are on a quest to find the games that work best with two players while also trimming down their collection so only the cream of the crop are left. Plays Well with Two asks ... Can there be a balance between old classics and the new hotness? Will we find an engine builder that the wife likes and a real-time game that won't make the husband pull out his hair? Expect strong opinions, playful banter, and interesting perspectives on board gaming every Wednesday (or therabouts)!

   Nidavellir Review

   Nidavawhat? Kristen and Spin put on their Dwarf helmets and get to work recruiting the best army money can buy in this bidding/set collection board game. Stick around for some ruminations on game expansions too!

   April Roundup... plus a Podcast Announcement

   April was a busy, busy month for Kristen and Spin. Not a lot of games played, but some great new finds and surprises... and LOTS of new additions. Stay dialed in, though, because there's also a (hopefully) exciting new announcement about something coming soon for Plays Well with Two!

   Review: Nanga Parbat

   Kristen and Spin brave the heights as Sherpas setting up base camps and collecting sets of animals in Nanga Parbat, a two player game by Steve Finn. This semi-abstract game comes in a small box but is chock full of strategy... but will the lure of animeeples and the promise of a thirty-minute playing time be enough to help this game reach the highest peaks of our collection, or will it be left behind at base camp?
