Dh and I are big gamers. Our favorite right now for two players is called Settlers of catan card game. I highly reccomend checking out games that are specifically made for 2 players. they play so much better than games made for 4 players that can be played by 2...kwim?

We also enjoy Rummicub. There are some others I highly reccomend but my brain is on memory shut down right now, I can't even remember how to spell much less remember names of games lol. (why does my brain do this sometimes?)

Anyhoo, I will post later with some other suggestions.

Phase ten and skip-bo are our favs. We also like uno, sequence, and 500 rummy although dh always beats me at rummy and I am a sore looser lol The game with the two little pigs we play sometimes but we like cards better. Whenever he is off on Sundays, he rotates his days off so once a month, we listen to the Grateful Dead hour then to Dr Demento and play. We usually have a better time doing that then going out lol

Backgammon. We loved backgammon back when we didn't have the board-tippers in residence.

Pinochle is our first card game of choice, followed by Spades, Hand and Foot (tho we are really new to this one). Scrabble is sometimes played. We really don't take enough time to just "Play", you know? Now that spring is here, we won't take the time.

Amanda, my dh just about came out of his skin, when I mentioned that you and your dh listened to Demento on the radio!! He is a HUGE fan of Demento and has just about all of his CD's.

We have side by side computers in our home office so we can play just about anything PC together.

Most of the time we play "hurry and get me there before the boy wakes up"
