Note: I decided not to include games that I think provide better experiences at other player counts. You could also look at it as a list of great board games for couples since I know many of you are looking to find games for you and your partners. They are, though, in my opinion, best at the two-player count and they are the co-op games that hit the table the most when it’s just me and one other person. Most of the games on this page can be played with more than two players. I also want these games to be challenging, at least a little thematic, and, obviously, they need to be fun! Luckily, there are now quite a few co-ops for two that check those boxes. When I am searching for cooperative board games for two players, I want games that give both people an equal amount to do throughout each game.
