Great 2-Player Board Games for Couples to Play at Home Together

This might be the opinion of every homebody out there but is it just me, but I happen to think that date night at home is way better than a date night out in nearly every way. The drinks and food are a lot cheaper. The clothes are comfier and warmer. And, if you have the right game, it can be a really fun night for you and your love to get competitive and cuddly all at once. In my experience it’s more competitive then cuddly. 

There are a lot of lists of games that are great for two people to play but here are a few that don’t make the usual lists that we are sure you will love.

Here is our list of the best two-player games for couples to play on their own.
