I play a lot of 2 Player games, so geeklists discussing them are always handy. I created this meta list for myself but figured maybe it would be helpful for others.

Basically this is just a list of geeklists discussing games playable with 2 players (sometimes with more, but at least 2)

Some lists may be very old but a good 2 player game from 2005 should still be good for 2012. However some games may be out of print and expensive to purchase while others could be cheap and easy to track down.

I tried to make comments on each geeklist. No comments are meant to put down any geeklist, I was just trying to give a quick overview of the list.

Feel free to thumb the entries below that you think others should look at. I will try to occassionally arrange the order of the entries by thumbs received! I will just leave them in the order they are added

If there are any similar geeklists not listed below which you think should be added, just post the link to it at the bottom in the comments section

1 page. Most entries from 2011 so it does have some of newer games. Does try to highlight some good games outside BGGs top 200 so may have some titles not frequently found on other geeklists

My New Year's Resolution was to add at least one more game review to this list each month, so there should be 11 new games on there by the end of 2012!

1 page. Most entries from 2006. Focus on larger, big boxed games (Ticket to Ride size to Descent) but some additions seem to have gotten away from that idea. Most games probably mention in other geeklists

1 page. Most entries from 2011. Focus on cheap 2 player games, however, some of these are out of print and pretty expensive, if you can even find them to begin with. Mentions a lot of the popular ones but does have some that aren't talked about as frequently and worth checking into

2 pages. Most entries from 2010. Focus on abstracts. Quite a few games on here that don't show up on the typical 2P games geeklists, so if you are an abstract fan it's worth checking out

2 pages. Most entries from 2010. Focus on intense game, although a few folks disagreed with a couple of them being intense. Still, it has a few games on there that don't show up as frequently as the usual suspects

2 pages. Entries from 2009 to current. Focus on games that play good for 2 as well as more players. Has a lot of the popular games on here but a few that aren't typically on similar lists. Does have quite a bit of discussion so it is good reading

4 pages. Entries range over many years including some recent ones. Focus on abstract games and does have a bunch of lesser known ones which would be worth looking into for all the abstract fans out there. Probably includes some games which are Print & Play

You are welcome to add our list Our thoughts on two player games: yet another couple speaks out. I haven't updated it in a while, but hope to do so in the near future.

Youmight want to add this one:

How to get your girlfriend into boardgames? [guide for 2 player gaming with your SO]

It's more a how-to guide, than a list of two player games, but it may still be relevant to those who come across this metalist...
