COZY UP WITH THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE

Spice up your relationship with these games for two that provide a little fun, friendly competition!

Patchwork
Ages: 8+ / Players: 2 / Play Time: 30 minutes 

With its cozy feel, Patchwork is a one-of-a-kind game for two. Each using your own 9 × 9 board, you and an opponent compete to make the highest-scoring quilt.

An adorable little game that is sure to provide hours of fun for you and your partner.

Jaipur
Ages: 12+ / Players: 2 / Play Time: 30 minutes 

A fast-moving card game for two set in India, Jaipur has players competing to win favour in the Maharaja’s court. How? By buying, trading and selling goods—and keeping an eye on your camel herds, naturally! A blend of luck and tactics, Jaipur will add a little friendly rivalry, and lots of spice, jewels, gold and more to your relationship.

MOMMY/DADDY AND ME!

Mommy/Daddy and Me Time is precious and helps to nurture that important parent/child connection, especially if you’re having fun! Enjoy some one-on-one time with your child with these games for two.

Tea for 2
Ages: 10+ / Players: 2 / Play Time: 30 minutes 

“Curiouser and curiouser” cried Alice! Set in Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, this intriguing card game sees players battle to collect jam tarts, hourglasses—and a fabulous pink flamingo! While easy to learn, Tea for 2 is surprisingly strategic—and wonderfully fun. Try it … and don’t be surprised if you end up grinning like the Cheshire Cat! 

Mosquito Show
Ages: 8+ / Players: 2 / Play Time: 10 minutes 

Take your child on an adventure for two, with Mosquito Show, the game where two teams search for food in the jungle! Each team consists of a chameleon and a toucan, and both hunt for small mosquitoes. Golden mosquitoes are particularly prized for their intense flavour (nomnom!) The first player to eat their 9th golden mosquito wins! But, if a player can’t move any of their animals during their turn, they automatically lose … and that really stings.

Ice Team
Ages: 8+ / Players: 2 / Play Time: 20 minutes 

Bundle up with your little (or not-so-little) one, because we’re headed to the Arctic for a snowy escapade. It’s Ice Team, the winter-themed, two-player game, where you and your opponent each lead a team of polar bears. Race across slippery ice floes and collect as many fish as possible. The first to cross the finish line wins!

BUNDLE UP WITH A FRIEND

Rivals for Catan

Another game-night favourite gets revamped 2-player style, with Rivals for Catan.
