[QUOTE="Ssadral, post: 4998401, member: 86090"] I know you said that War games are not the top of your list but... I'd feel remiss if I didn't suggest this one. Take a look at Memoir '44. It is a 2 player game, the rules are easy to pick up and they supply *cheat* cards to help you remember things like what terrain does amongst other important information. With the cards you never need to look at the rule book again. It is a scenario game and for a war game it runs fast. Though it comes with limited scenarios, I can confidently say that no scenario plays out the same way. But, you can go online and there are plenty other scenarios from both fans and Days of Wonder that will have you blowing things up for a very long time. There are a number of expansions for the game, but it is one of the few games that plays just as well without the expansions and you really never need to buy them unless you want to play specific armies. (The original is Allies vs. Germans) The expansions bring in other countries and new scenarios specific to those countries. I have the Eastern Front expansion and it brings in the Russians, but also has scenarios for the Russian, Finnish war. You can buy another set and play a 4 man game, but I have never tried that so I am uncertain how much fun that would be. Great, great game and you do not need to know the history of any of the battles or even be a history buff to enjoy this game to the fullest. [/QUOTE]
