Hey guys, I'm looking for fun 2p games that I can play with my girlfriend, and/or 4p games that I we can play with other friends. I'm looking for fairly simple games to begin, just to ease her into it. She loves scrabble, and we'll play a bit of that. Bonus points go to scaling games that will work for 2p and with a larger group.

I love King of Tokyo, Coup, Love Letters, Muchkin, and Settlers.

Guys, I'd love your advice, thanks!

I also agree that desert is better. I've played both. Never played Pandemic though, I feel like I need that one day.

So I just bought a stack of them because I've been saving like a beast and I really want all of these games:

MEMOIR 44
- Looks great. GF is ex-army, one of my gaming mates is ex-army, and two of my gaming mates are Air Force so I'm sure we'll all love it. The mechanics look great too.
CARCASSONNE
- Based off suggestions. Looks like it scales nicely.
PANDEMIC
- I've played Forbidden Island and Desert and loved them both. I love the scaling difficulty.
SMALL WORLD
- Theme looks good, army generation looks good, scaling looks good.
MUNCHKIN BASE GAME
- I have always loved Muchkin. Great game to play alongside beers. Feels as much fun with 3 as 5.
ANDROID: NETRUNNER CORE GAME
- Wow. The box art took me in, the youtube videos took me in. Looks so complex, but so worth the time.

Anyway, that's a shitload of cash done, but I'm going to look after these games and when me and the girlfriend move in together, we've already talked about a board games night and stuff like that. This is gonna be the best.

I've heard that Twilight Struggle is really complex. She's pretty new to board games and I want to ease her in.


Thanks Otter, checking it out now.

Of my new purchases we gave
Memoir 44
a go, and man it takes a LOT of setup but is a fun game. Looks like it'll take us a few games to kind of learn what is a good idea and what isn't (beat my mate twice in a row).

Also played
Android: Netrunner
and I'm hooked. If anyone ever wants to play this at all on OCTGN let me know. Still learning so I'll need someone with a little patience :) Speaking of patience, this game is really fucking hard to learn for the first time. I still don't have it, but man it took us two games just to think we had a playable understanding. I love T/LCGs but I just wish the people who played them weren't so...smelly? For the most part anyway.


Awesome fun games. Also had some non-gamers play
Pandemic
with us and TBH with 4 people and 4 Epidemic cards...it was a little easy. Really easy actually.

I dunno. Considering there are only 6, that seems like a weird scale. That there are 4 which is super novice, and 6 would have to be super hard right?

I dunno, quarantine seems like a pretty boss role. You can just shut down several regions.

Also I played Scientist. Fuck Scientist.

Dragon Racers
Is a boardgame from my current town. It's pretty good. Not intuitive until you really play it once, but good! Drafting race game. Absolute blast.

memoir 44 is in my collection. Really good. Really interesting.

XCOM is apparently great too!
