I would be really great if when I clicked a category like movies or tabletop games I could see the newest reviews and or ratings by anyone. That way I could see and follow people who are active in my favorite category.

A Classic That should be left in the past
So many other tabletop games completely dwarf this and it should be left in the past. Eliminating players isn't fun, and no strategy to mitigate luck leaves a lot to be desired.

This is a classic table top game. My friends and I don't get to play it much but if you are introducing someone to tabletop games, this might be a good one to start with. The rules are pretty simple to follow and the available actions on your turn are limited so there isn't too much for them to make decisions on.

An exciting read from start to finish
The basis of this book as an immersion into a Virtual Reality computer game that takes you back to 80's computer games and tabletop role playing. It takes you on a journey that mixes virtual reality with a contest of a lifetime, whilst keeping a grounding in good old fashioned reality. It is one of those rare books that is worth a re-read

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.
