So I'm playing the Arkham Horror LCG as my primary solo game now. The theme is good and the implementation of the rules, especially for locations, is great to simulte an adventure -- it does much better than the LotR LCG, which though I prefer the theme is just very complicated to play with difficult deck-building plus too many effects to keep track of. Lots of multi-player co-op potential here, but I suspect too much complication to interest the spousal unit
Still struggling to get games to play with my wife. Fluxx survived a few games but was mostly meh. Exploding Kittens has had OK success and repeat plays, but would be better with more than two of us.
We recently tried Carcassonne (actually, the Carcassonne: Star Wars version). She mostly got the hang of it through our first game, and beat me. Complexity level and game time was about right, though the theme is pretty light. I appreciated the deeper strategy; she just wants to make quick off-the-cuff decisions. Maybe I'll be able to get her to play a second game, maybe not.
