haha this is what prompted us to get a new board game one :P
iPad Pro 11" + iPhone 15 Pro Max + 2degrees 4tw!
These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.
leo0787sx: Thanks for the ideas guys, seems Settlers of Catan is listed as 4-6, apparently Zombies ! ! ! is better with 4 people so that leaves Carcasonne for 2 players pretty much. I'll see if my partner will like it and might get it.

Been a few years since the last update here.....
So what are people playing "offline" these days ? :) Still the classics ?
Ive just purchased Fallout after playing it at a mates a while back, was a lot of fun.
Also picked up King of New York, nice short game that the kids get into :)

I have been looking at Catan for the longest time. My Son is 10 now and I am wondering how feasible it is to play for him (he is pretty bright and can strategise well). What is the length of time for an average game? I considered buying it for my phone, but it's $15USD!
I think he'd probably be fine with it, once you understand the concept its pretty straight forward.

My board game playing took a back seat for a couple of years when our kids were born - it was too hard to find the time. Recently, now they are sleeping more soundly and consistently, my wife and I have started playing again. I even built a felt-topped table to go on top of our lounge coffee table, to give us better space to set up games.
One of our go-to games over the years has been 7 Wonders, but it's better as a 3+ player game. Recently, we picked up 7 Wonders Duel, which is a 2-player variant. It's quite a good revision, and takes less time to set up, but introduces some neat variables around the use of Science and Military cards. Games only take about 30 minutes to play, after setup, which works well when trying to fit in a game around kid's (and our) bedtime.
For those who enjoy (or are looking at) Settlers of Catan, a similar concept to 7 Wonders Duel is Rivals of Catan. It's a card-based version, designed for two players. It retains a lot of the original gameplay, but with fewer pieces and no gameboard. There are different decks included in the base version, so you can ramp up the complexity and variations once you get the basic gameplay down. It's probably not as expandable as the full-blown board version, but still good for those that are looking for a quick game.
