No Decisions to be made
This IS NOT smokey and the bandit the boardgame.
Do you love dice, and do you hate making decisions? The just maybe this game is for you... This is an activity with rules rather than a game in my eyes. Those kid are not having fun on the box cover, I don't care what you say. In 1976 they really could've done better. But this particular game didn't bother to try. I put this on par with Candyland, but Candyland is much prettier and designed for kids to learn colors and counting. This one has almost nothing to offer. Even if you can get it for 50 cents at a garage sale, throw the board away and keep the dice and money for another game as missing pieces. Or even better, come up with your own rules and redesign the game. that would be a more fun process than playing the game as is for sure. I'm sure it would be more fun to be a trucker for a few hours, even on the boring straightaways of nebraska. So if you can do that instead. Even Monopoly is better than this game.

Wow. Harsh. Never heard of it but now I feel like I’ve played it. I know games like this and I avoid them.

Passive Agressive competitiveness at its finest (0 more)
Timeless classic
A classic, forerunner in the world of tile laying board games, and still holds its own after so many years and so many plays. Simply and approachable ruleset makes this game accessible for all manner of players, and the fact that the tables can turn at the lay of a tile, means that ereryone is always in the running.

Format is very different (1 more)
Easy to learn and play
Lite and playful castle seige co-op
I really enjoy this little gem. The format is different in that the board is played as a giant pie chart with various ringed zones based on proximity. Its co-op and everyone works to fight an non-stop onslaught of monsters attacking the central castle from around the board. Its fun, fast, and non-stop action. Everyone very much works together and it has a clear end. The boulders are a little too much of random chance in my opinion that can make or break a win, but overall I enjoy this breezy game.

Can anyone recommend some good two-player tabletop games, be it board, and, or dice games? I'm going to have surgery and will have a lot of downtime and don't want to spend it as a couch potato.

I like to play city building games online, like Banished, Civilization, and Sierra Impression Games (Pharaoh, Caesar, and Emporer) and have looked at a few board game versions but they look complicated and come with so many pieces. Are they manageable or will a cat coming into the room destroy the game with a swipe of its tail? My roommate doesn't play games yet so it would have to be a game that isn't overly complex or complicated to a newbie or a highly-medicated me.

We also like Scrabble, word puzzles, and trivia games but are looking for similar games. We've played Uno (which is now forever known as F-U/No, F-U, haha) and Yahtzee. So traditional board, card, and dice would be nice. We like mystery, paranormal, and educational games, not big on fantasy, sci-fi, sports, or anything chaotic.

I'm also hoping to find games my boyfriend and I can play kind of mindlessly to do in the background while we chat about life and tell stories. I'm really needing some good intimate (not sexual) discussion.

All advice appreciated.

Seven Wonders Duel is a pretty good, medium-complex card game. Splendor and Carcassonne also both work well with two and they're a little simpler and possibly more cat-proof too.
