The Battle for Hill 218 is a 2-player card wargame that supposedly plays fast with a small footprint.

Small card game for 2 players
very quick, simple, and fun.

always fun to out-flank your opponent, while preventing them form doing the same.

I just got this one and haven't tried it yet, but I've heard other people recommend it highly as a short replayable card game.

This is a great little gem of a two player game.

When I got this i played with my nephew what seemed like 20 times in a row. It's a great little strategy game that packs a punch into a small deck of cards.

This is a really excellent little abstract game. The rulebook isn't the best but if you read an aid on the geek before teaching its very easy to play.

Everyone I've introduced this to likes it. Plus its very fast, what a 10 minute game usually?

I discovered this one just yesterday after just discovering Your Move Games yesterday, and I fell in love with it instantly. It's one of those "minute to learn, lifetime to master" games that has you wanting/needing to master it right now.

Now this is a good game, and unlike some other games on this list (Citadel, Carcassonne), it doesn't outlast the amount of fun it provides. My ideal filler.

I'm not saying this is the deepest game out there. I will say this---considering how easy it is to learn this game, it has a surprising amount of depth and strategy. This quality is reflected by the fact that the more experienced and skilled player will win the majority of games despite the fact that there is some luck involved since each player is drawing and playing cards.

So, it has surprising depth relative to how easy it is to learn.

EDIT: Grammar

Best Two Player Game (Not necessarily couples)

This is one of the greatest games developed in the past ten years and should be in everyone's collection. A great two player card game which is oh so easy to learn, but keeps you coming back time after time. There is real strategy to this game, and for two experienced players is as deep and moving as chess

I'm not sure how this differs from the above, except maybe for single people. I'll just list our 2nd favourite 2P game (these days): Reef Encounter.

I know this isn't a high on the list as some others, but I think it would be a perfect game for BGA, since it's fast and two-player. (I love BGA, but even games that are for more than two players often end up being just for two because people would rather not wait.)

closing in on 350 plays, such an awesome game, I will so need to get one sooner then later. I think if careful I could get 200 more plays out of it, but some of the cards are starting to come apart, so that is bad, but for such a cheap game I so got my money worth out of it
