Enjoyable board and card game combo

A good family perennial game

My family really enjoy playing this game and it has become a classic we play regularly. The combination of strategy and luck works well and it's an easy game to learn. Not many games work this well for both individuals and teams. Great game with long-lasting playability.

Quite an improvement over the previous volume! I could actually feel the grime and coal soot from the streets of Victorian England! It had a Dickens feel to it, with some darker, steampunk aspects to it! It was good enough to maintain my interest for the entirety of it, as well as keeping me on board for the new volume, LA DAMA de la MUERTE!

Lots of shuffling required between games to even out resources (0 more)

This game is easy to learn, but hard to master. I've found it best not to plan too far in advance as the board changes so rapidly. Love playing with people who are experienced gamers as well as more casual friends. Definitely one to pull out due to massive replay ability!

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.
