If you want to spend lots of time (and money) on the game, then it still holds its own even after all these years. It’s not something players usually pick up and play casually. It is a great game even after all these years. I’m going to keep it off this one as well because it’s not a game I’d really recommend to anyone other than someone who really wants to play it. I got many comments about this perennial title not making the 2017 list. I am, however, going to make an exception for 2 player games that have 4 player rules shoehorned in by basically splitting roles in half (I’m looking at you War of the Ring).Īnd finally, I want to address Magic: The Gathering. So while Imperial Settlers is probably best with two players, I’m not counting it as a two player game because it still plays fine with 3 or 4. Only games that are strictly two players will count. I’m going to use the same rules I did last time as well to help keep this list laser-focused. However, it’s always good to revisit these lists, and this one popped into my head after a large offering of excellent two player games hit our tabletops in 2019.
It was a great list that has games I still play 3 years later. Back in 2017, I released the list of my Top 10 Two Player Board Games.
