Message: <blockquote data-quote="Utrecht" data-source="post: 601679" data-attributes="member: 1411">The short answer is no - there is a resource trading element there and only having 2 people involved defeats it (like playing Monopoly with 2 people - sure it is do able, but much less fun)So good 2 players games.The most highly recommended on that I can come up with is Carcassone and Carcassone : Hunters and Gatherers.  These are tile laying games where a person draws a tile from a bag, places it down and puts one of thier limited people down on the board for either immediate scoring, later scoring or end of game scoring.Ceaser and Cleopatra is not bad - although there are some suspected balance issues with the value of playing hidden influence points.Pueto Rico is pretty good - I have enjoyed that one.Tikal, Java, etc.  Are all similar games that are supposedly fun, but I have not played them.Other games that are 3+ playersI highly recommend Bohnanza - it is (trust me on this) a game about bean farming where you attempt to complete sets to score points.  Again, it is a trading game so it really needs the third.Tigris and Euprates (I think that this could be played 2 player) is great!!  It is about building a civilization (in its most abstact terms) in the fertile cresent.Union Pacific (This can be played with 2 players - but is much more fun with more) It is about building and managing a railroad in North Americal - very similar to Acquire.Overall, I would go into your local game store (my LGS sells both board games and RPG stufff) and tell them what you are after - after all they are there to help you out.Also, you might want to go to this site - it lists out pretty much all of the Rio Grande and Mayfay games - two very accessible game companies:  <a href="http://www.boardgames.com/riogranmayga.html" target="_blank">http://www.boardgames.com/riogranmayga.html</a>HTH</blockquote>
