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.

Thunder buddies
When John (Wahlberg) was a little boy, he wish that Ted (MacFarlane), his best friend and teddy bear could talk, which came true.
Thirty years later, F-bomb dropping Ted is still John's best friend, much to the dislike of Lori (Kunis), John's girlfriend.
 Though Lori's displeasure is fuelled by the pair's constant consumption of beer and weed, she's not the one who's most disappointed with John; it may take the intervention of a teddy bear to make the boy become a man.

Hilarious story, although the plot is a little weak - this movie does not disappoint, an oddly grounded take on growing up.
