One of my all time favorites is "Pandemic". Very fitting to play these days. All players work together against the game itself, trying to keep its diseases at bay and finding cures.
Agreed! Additionally, Legacy is pretty cool because you shape your own version of Pandemic. You're not locked into playing that version, though. With a few slight changes, you can play the standard pandemic with the legacy board/components.
My husband and I recently bought "Ticket To Ride" and we love it. 😍 Beautiful quality board, cards and pieces. You can play a game in 30-60 minutes (with 2 of us it's typically 30 to 40 minutes per game). It's super fun and I'm so hooked I ended up buying the digital version too so I can play solo or online with others. It's strategic yet not super difficult and is a great stress reliever! It also has expansion packs and several other versions for countries around the world. I really appreciate your video - we've been considering several of the ones you mentioned and it was so helpful to get a better sense of what is involved - thanks for the info!😊
So glad to hear about your game time with your husband! Ticket to Ride was the first real board game we owned. It's featured in our great games for the family video!
My wife and I decided to start getting into board games and we picked up Ticket to Ride last week. We've played it so much and it's really opened us up to how much fun we can have playing games together. Glad you and you're husband enjoy it as well!
@@christophermorley4724 I'm glad you and your wife enjoy it too. We've been considering getting the 'Rails & Sails' version but its about $100 so we haven't taken the plunge quite yet.
After 6 months of narrowing down your votes and ours, we have released Top 10 Board Games for Couples PART TWO! We hope you enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/1lK4yOmhCPI/v-deo.html
I enthusiastically suggest you add Wingspan to your list! It's so so so good! Super-replayable, less complex than Gloomhaven, and... BIRDS!! It's great for couples, too!! (And two expansions are out as of now!)
After watching this video I went onto Amazon and spent $200 for new board games! :D I love this list, I already owned about half so im excited to try out some new games for me and my hubby! Who needs friends?! Yay for date night at home!
Omg this amazing! I hope you and your husband have a great time! The two player games have really helped us stay sane this year and have a lot of fun! Please let us know what you think of your new board game haul!
Patchwork, Jaipur and Fox and the Forest are our favorite dedicated two player games. Castles of Burgundy, Obsession and Tiny Epic Galaxies are our favorite 2+ player games that play really well with two players.
If you like it, you should, no must!, try the 2 Player card game Version of Catan! It works slighlty like 7 wonders but its a bit more Complex. Since i was 12 years old i played it vs my mom and we are still playing 16 years later.
First time viewer here… Superb video! You all do a much better job balancing the speaking than most couples who doing gaming UA-cam videos, which to me is at once more professional and symbolizes a mutually respectful relationship dynamic. Fantastic!!
Thanks so much for your kind words! We really try to aim for an equal share of screen time, our hope is that the more diverse and balanced the opinions we have, the more viewers get out of the videos! Are there any board game topics you want to see more videos about? ☺️
I’m always interested in videos detailing people’s tips for teaching games! Everyone has a different style so those don’t get old. I also think round table discussions about handling competitiveness as a couple in board gaming is great. An obvious answer to help is to play more coops, but beyond that… Ideas for discussion Qs: What can be done if one of the two in a couple is much more competitive? Is creating an agreement that “anything goes” on head to head games worthwhile, or should you both show love and kindness even in highly competitive two player games? Do you tend to “go after” one another more or less than you would another player when playing multiplier games with others? I’m also doing my grad research on using board and card games more inclusive for neurodiverse groups, so if you have worries/ideas/experiences around playing with people diagnosed with autism, ADHD, or other neurodiversities I’m always keen on those topics!
My husband and I play a lot of cooperative games. Pandemic is our hands-down favorite, but (in addition to a couple that you've mentioned) The Fox in the Forest Duet is a fun quick game. Chronicles of Crime, Back to the Future: Back in Time, Horrified, T.I.M.E. Stories, and Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game are a few others we enjoy playing. Happy gaming!
Thanks for the suggestions! Horrified is one of my favorite games! Theming is on point. We just played Pandemic: Fall of Rome last night and loved it (love the original too, one of Jonathan's favorites) Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this list! Could not have come out at a more perfect time before the holidays. Out of all of these, Everdell and Codenames Duet seem like ones I will definitely be purchasing for my wife and I.
I encourage you to keep at it with your channel because it starts very slow but subs will inevitably go up exponentially if you put out regular content. You got a new sub!
My wife and I enjoy playing a few two-player card games like Lost Cities and Quiddler. We've also played The Captain Is Dead a number of times with two players and four characters (each player controlling two characters).
We've played Codenames with groups (using horsepaste.com while social distancing), but haven't played Codenames Duet yet. (We've used the cards to expand the vocabulary of our Codenames set, but haven't played the Duet rules.) And we have Splendor, but haven't adapted it so my wife (who is blind) can play yet. I'm considering getting Sushi Go, which looks like a nice introduction to the "play one card and pass the rest" mechanism, and should be easy to adapt.
haha wow that's deep! But I honestly love it too. It's usually my go to game when we want to play something familiar. Ever played it with Italian Renaissance? Whole new level.
My favorite game is Hanabi. It’s an older game but it’s really awesome! It’s a card game but you play without knowing what your cards are. Super fun. Great for 2 to 5 players
I played Hanabi once with a few friends last year - definitely want to play this one again. We recently got The Crew, I'm really liking these types of hidden information games!
Patchwork and Azul are both solid couples games. We also have gotten a surprising amount of mileage out of Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Not an obvious choice as a two player but works really well! Honourable mention goes to Tales of the Arabian Nights as a lazy Sunday afternoon game.
Part THREE for Best Board Games for Couples is live with some awesome games you won’t want to miss: Top 10 Board Games for Couples: Part THREE! ua-cam.com/video/juz2S0_gkGs/v-deo.html
Splendor duel is a lot of fun! I think we’d still prefer Splendor due to its versatility at being able to play other player counts, but the new mechanics are fun :)
Five Tribes is a great game that can accommodate four players, but it's possibly better with two. Bidding for two actions per round really increases the strategy and allows greater use of the different tribes and djinns.
Great list! We have many of those you mentioned. Thanks for the tips on the ones we don't :) Two of our favourite games for couples are Castles of Burgundy and Viticulture (EE). Both are brilliant.
Top 10 board games for couples at home: Agricola (all expansions and fully blinged) Orleans (as above) Zombicide (as above) Napolionics (all expansions) Concordia (all expansions and fully blinged) Tzolk'in (with the expansion) Legends of Andor (all expansions) Dice Forge (with the expansion) Flamme Rouge (with both expansions) Dreamscape (with all the expansions)
Wow I had never heard of this game before! looks cool. I really like that art style and that they pulled pictures from the actually event. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
Awesome. I’m new to the board game hobby and started with 60 second city and pandemic. It’s just me and my wife playing. I think I’ll try splendor next, although I think cooperative games may be better for my situation
Hey, thanks for watching! Splendor is a great pick, lots of great cooperative games out there though, too! Have you tried Horrified? This is an excellent cooperative game in a similar difficulty to Pandemic as well!
@@TerreDiceGames I haven’t tried horrified but I’ll definitely check it out, thanks! Target is having a buy 2 get one sale on board games right now so hopefully they have it
Dominion, we've been playing it for two years! And we bought 7 extensions 😂😅👌🏻 we put on 5 friends and we had dominion only evenings with so much fun 😂 we are considering buying a drawer for all the cards :-)
This is a great list of games from different genres! Thanks Our favourites are: Schotten Totten Castles of Burgundy That's pretty clever Grand Austria hotel Hanamikoji Klask Mandala Sagrada San Juan Trambahn Welcome to... Kingdom builder Samurai Quest to El dorado Menara Lost cities Wingspan
Great list - we’ve played around half of the ones you recommend. To add to the list though: Jaipur is outstanding Memoir 44 is bigger but utterly amazing if you enjoy strategy or WWII
Splendor and Duel are our go to's then we played actualy 7 wonders and I got the rules confused since they are similar but different. You 2 are so fun to watch!
Hey there! Yeah Jonathan said the same thing about 7 wonders! I haven't had a chance to play it yet, someday I will and than I can be confused too lol! Thank you so much watching!
Yeah I agree! When their's more people playing, we get more "surprise". But I found love letter to be the "go to" fast game you can play anytime with anyone. When you only have 15 min or less and somewhere you not really good for playing game, you can still play!
@@TerreDiceGames THere is almost no theme to it, and i'd describe it as 2 player solitaire where you play against each other. So, if you are looking for theme its not the game you want. Also, it not cooperative so if you want to play with your spouse as oposed to play against them it may also not be your cup of tea. But even though its not cooperative its not overly mean. You can screw with the person you're playing against but it never feels like hte game is mean about it. Some games tend to cause arguments between spouses. this is not one. Plus you can play it in like fifteen minutes.
Thank you for the suggestions, these are lovely! We recently got Patchwork and Viticulture just came in the mail. Haven’t had a chance to play it yet, can’t wait! We’ll check out Targi as well! Thanks for watching 🙌
Nice list! Here are some more options that i find interesting: Santorini, Stratego, Bandido and Jaipur. They are quite different from each other and i'm sure you'll like at least one of these! :)
You guys are super cute and was a really informative video of the games. Splendor is the only one I have from your list so far. Brilliant game. Well done on a great video :)
Your nice comment goes a long way, thank you so much! Splendor is one of my top favorites too! It's one I will always ask to play. Thanks for watching! - Mackenzie
my gf and I just got Morels and its a pretty simple and fun game to play together. and we'll probably be getting a few of the games you mentioned that we dont already have :)
Great list! I would also suggest Wingspan; Jaipur; Point Salad. And for Splendor, you should definitely get the expansion "Cities of Splendor" it's just great! Also Azul Summer Pavilion. Cheers from Dublin Ireland
thanks for your suggestions! We actually have been wanting to do a video on Wingspan soon, we recently started playing it and love it! Splendor is one of my favorites so I will definitely have to check out the expansion. Thank you for watching!
My wife and I do a weekly stream of Gloomhaven and it's GREAT. Absolutely would recommend to couples who are both into euro-style games or dungeon crawlers!
9Nails - great question!! I’m so glad you asked too, we are planning in the future to have a video on all board game terms! A euro game is a board game that typically has less combat and direct player interaction and is more abstract, sort of like your games where you build routes and go up tracks and progress more abstractly in goals. It’s a broad term, but basically most games with cubes or discs to track things would probably fit 😄 A great intro example is Ticket to Ride, another classic is Hansa Teutonica.
@@TerreDiceGames Thanks to the quick reply! Looking forward to that video of yours. I learned fast that there was a whole lot more to board games than I first thought!
Not bad list. Definetly better games that people in chat suggesting. Dont tire of so easily as lot of games. One can easily see what games are more for her and what for him :D Gloomheaven expansion must be a relief for the girl :D
Thanks for your comment! These are good thoughts!! 😀 Definitely check out Part 2, released 6 months later - featuring many games from the comments!! ua-cam.com/video/1lK4yOmhCPI/v-deo.html
Awesome review!! I was considering to purchase bloomhaven and you guys helped me a lot! Can you guys review kingdom rush board game as well? I heard that it's pretty fun!
I am surprised that you didn' show Mr. Jack, this is great detectivistic game for only 2 players :) If someone like carcassonne, Isle of Skye is absolutely must have, I reccomend it with Druids expansion as well. Another cool game that is deckbuilder is Star realms/Hero realms.
Definitely agree with Hero Realms. It's a great game competitively or with the addition of the cooperative version. Not a fan of Mr. Jack or Isle of Sky. Love Carcassonne, but my husband doesn't care much for tile-placement games.
We got this game a couple weeks ago and loved it! Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely adding it to the list for our next video of great two player games!
I've seen this game before but haven't played it! Love that it looks like a short 15 min game, need more of those. Thanks for the suggestion! Welcome to TerreDice!
Spirit Island is a FANTASTIC co-op game for couples. It's a heavy coop "put out the fires" kind of game, where you are island spirits working with the native inhabitants to drive off colonists. Think Pandemic but more complex, where your actions are powers unique to your Spirit and to the powers you draw as you built up in power. It was ranked by BGG users as the #1 solo game recently and it plays just as well if not better as a co-op game.
We have had this one for a while but have been working our way up to the weight. Jonathan has played this solo and also enjoyed it! Thanks for the recommendation! :)
We were in and got exclusive coverage of the first official VILLAINOUS TOURNAMENT! ua-cam.com/video/_T--b2TVqhM/v-deo.htmlsi=eqFkVtJCyCLR8AYk

We played Azul the other night and loved it! Would love to try the expansions! Thanks for watching!
Nice work - keep those videos coming!
Thank you so much for watching! We put out videos every two weeks on Fridays!
Love letter is a great game for a couple! Fast, fun, strategy and luck
We love Love Letter! I think I enjoyed it more with higher player counts, but definitely a fun fast game!
Yeah I agree! When their's more people playing, we get more "surprise".
But I found love letter to be the "go to" fast game you can play anytime with anyone. When you only have 15 min or less and somewhere you not really good for playing game, you can still play!
Just got Hive for Christmas, love it so far! Great video, hadn't heard of most of these
Hive is great! It's one of the first games we got when we started getting into board games. Hope you like it! Thanks for watching!
Lost Cities, while a bit dry, seems to be the go to couples game for most of my friends who are couples. Or at least it used to be.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out and see if we want to pick it up :)
@@TerreDiceGames THere is almost no theme to it, and i'd describe it as 2 player solitaire where you play against each other. So, if you are looking for theme its not the game you want. Also, it not cooperative so if you want to play with your spouse as oposed to play against them it may also not be your cup of tea. But even though its not cooperative its not overly mean. You can screw with the person you're playing against but it never feels like hte game is mean about it. Some games tend to cause arguments between spouses. this is not one.
Plus you can play it in like fifteen minutes.
Thanks for the recommendations and love your energies. Would love a little improvement in audio quality / microphone
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed our list! We have been working toward improvements every day, hopefully it is getting better and better ☺️
I love Viticulture, Targi & Patchwork for 2 players
Thank you for the suggestions, these are lovely! We recently got Patchwork and Viticulture just came in the mail. Haven’t had a chance to play it yet, can’t wait! We’ll check out Targi as well! Thanks for watching 🙌
Nice list! Here are some more options that i find interesting: Santorini, Stratego, Bandido and Jaipur. They are quite different from each other and i'm sure you'll like at least one of these! :)
Thanks for the recommendations! We recently picked up Jaipur and love it too!
@@TerreDiceGames glad to hear that you liked it! :)
Our favourite 2p games to play are: Mondo, Castles of Burgundy, Patchwork, Chronicles of Crime, and Exit.
Nice choices! :) We've been looking into about half of these, we picked up Patchwork recently!
Couples that play together, stay together. Nice channel, peeps!
Amen! Thank you for watching!
You two are great. We like lots of these games, too, but you've piqued my interest in some I haven't played it. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy :) thanks for watching!
Subtle note here but, the farmer in that painting (0:01) looks Jean Pierre Wehry
It is American Gothic!! 👩🏼🌾
@@TerreDiceGames It's still a fine piece, I just couldn't help but notice the slight resemblance
Great list!
Thank you!!
Good video. And great explanation:)
Thank you and thanks for watching! :)
Love you guys energy
Thank you so much! We have a lot of fun making these!
From Reddit. You got our sub. You guys deserve more subs. Best of luck
Thank you so much! We’re just getting started but excited to share our passion with you all!
An excellent list! All of our favorites!
Yay!! Thanks for watching!
You guys are super cute and was a really informative video of the games. Splendor is the only one I have from your list so far. Brilliant game. Well done on a great video :)
Your nice comment goes a long way, thank you so much! Splendor is one of my top favorites too! It's one I will always ask to play. Thanks for watching! - Mackenzie
my gf and I just got Morels and its a pretty simple and fun game to play together.
and we'll probably be getting a few of the games you mentioned that we dont already have :)
I've heard of Morels! Will have to check it out. Awesome!
This list is gold!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
My favorites are Nidavallir, welcome to New vegas, dice forge, skyjjo, au creux de ta main and les chevaliers de la table ronde
Thanks for the suggestions! I've heard a lot of good things about Dice Forge, really need to play it. Thanks for watching :)
@@TerreDiceGames good content I enjoy your game reviews. Try Nidavellir. A must have
@@TerreDiceGames actually les chevaliers de la table ronde are "shadow over Camelot " in English. My best collaborative game
Checked your video through Reddit, very surprised to see that this is your first UA-cam video! Hope I can see more in the future 😊
Thank you so much, this is our debut video! We can’t wait to make more! Thanks for watching!
Great list! I would also suggest Wingspan; Jaipur; Point Salad. And for Splendor, you should definitely get the expansion "Cities of Splendor" it's just great! Also Azul Summer Pavilion. Cheers from Dublin Ireland
thanks for your suggestions! We actually have been wanting to do a video on Wingspan soon, we recently started playing it and love it! Splendor is one of my favorites so I will definitely have to check out the expansion. Thank you for watching!
My wife and I do a weekly stream of Gloomhaven and it's GREAT. Absolutely would recommend to couples who are both into euro-style games or dungeon crawlers!
Thank you for the +1 RBG!
This is probably a dumb question, but for someone who's new to board games, what exactly are euro-style games?
9Nails - great question!! I’m so glad you asked too, we are planning in the future to have a video on all board game terms! A euro game is a board game that typically has less combat and direct player interaction and is more abstract, sort of like your games where you build routes and go up tracks and progress more abstractly in goals. It’s a broad term, but basically most games with cubes or discs to track things would probably fit 😄
A great intro example is Ticket to Ride, another classic is Hansa Teutonica.
@@TerreDiceGames Thanks to the quick reply! Looking forward to that video of yours. I learned fast that there was a whole lot more to board games than I first thought!
There’s so much to board games! We were amazed when we joined the world too. I hope you find lots of joy in gaming! ☺️
Not bad list. Definetly better games that people in chat suggesting. Dont tire of so easily as lot of games. One can easily see what games are more for her and what for him :D Gloomheaven expansion must be a relief for the girl :D
Thanks for your comment! These are good thoughts!! 😀 Definitely check out Part 2, released 6 months later - featuring many games from the comments!! ua-cam.com/video/1lK4yOmhCPI/v-deo.html
Awesome review!! I was considering to purchase bloomhaven and you guys helped me a lot!
Can you guys review kingdom rush board game as well? I heard that it's pretty fun!
Thank you Luke! We don't have Kingdom Rush but if we get it we'll be sure to share our thoughts!
Very nice video. Gloomhaven is in my list. You may share BGG points.
I am surprised that you didn' show Mr. Jack, this is great detectivistic game for only 2 players :) If someone like carcassonne, Isle of Skye is absolutely must have, I reccomend it with Druids expansion as well. Another cool game that is deckbuilder is Star realms/Hero realms.
Thanks for the suggestions! I hadn't heard of these games, we'll definitely check them out!
Definitely agree with Hero Realms. It's a great game competitively or with the addition of the cooperative version. Not a fan of Mr. Jack or Isle of Sky. Love Carcassonne, but my husband doesn't care much for tile-placement games.
I like Fox and the Forest and Patchwork as 2 player games, too! This is a great list and I’ll have to try some of them out! Love Splendor and Duel!
Thanks for the suggestions, and glad you enjoyed! We just recently got Patchwork, we're loving it!
Jaipur! It’s a great 2 player game. Check it out!
We got this game a couple weeks ago and loved it! Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely adding it to the list for our next video of great two player games!
Nice Rodney flip!
haha thank you! It was harder than I thought it was going to be, so props to Rodney! Thanks for watching!
The mind can also be really fun. Great video you got a new subscriber.
I've seen this game before but haven't played it! Love that it looks like a short 15 min game, need more of those. Thanks for the suggestion! Welcome to TerreDice!
Spirit Island is a FANTASTIC co-op game for couples. It's a heavy coop "put out the fires" kind of game, where you are island spirits working with the native inhabitants to drive off colonists. Think Pandemic but more complex, where your actions are powers unique to your Spirit and to the powers you draw as you built up in power. It was ranked by BGG users as the #1 solo game recently and it plays just as well if not better as a co-op game.
We have had this one for a while but have been working our way up to the weight. Jonathan has played this solo and also enjoyed it! Thanks for the recommendation! :)
Good video, very comprehensive with some great suggestions.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Catan for 2 players is also fun. Whitechapel might also be fun.
Thanks for the recommendations! :)
Where do I find one of those board game playing wifes?
Wingspan! It is amazing and with the expansions it is even more fun!
We love Wingspan!! We covered it in Part 2 ☺️ thanks for watching!
It's 2023 and part FOUR of Best Board Games for Couples is LIVE with the latest two player hits! ua-cam.com/video/q6aEBOU7NxY/v-deo.html
