Traditionally, board games were social activities enjoyed in a group. But what if you have a gaming partner, but not a gaming group? In fact, some would argue that the ultimate board gaming experience is achieved when playing with two players. I agree with that. If you too, then perhaps you need a shortlist of the best 2 player board games<\/strong> out there?<\/p>\n

The beauty with two-player board games is that they mitigate most of the concerns associated with playing board games with a group. There are no issues around plotting or balancing, as most of the time, both players start their game on the same foot. It probably represents the purest form of board gaming, where similar to chess – there is you, your opponent, and the board.<\/p>\n

Just like solo games, board games for two players have recently picked up in popularity. They have become more accessible\u00a0and\u00a0streamlined appealing to wider audiences. Alternatively, if you are a skilled player, there are also amazingly deep and more complex board games available.<\/p>\n

In our review, we assess board game complexity, style, themes, and much more in our quest for finding the best two-player board games of 2018 in each category.<\/p>\n

With dozens of new board games coming out every month, you will find that the vast majority of them support a two-player\u00a0mode. But you don’t want the board games that would only work with two players, do you? You want to know the best 2 player board games that have either been specifically designed or adapted for two players.<\/p>\n

Star\u00a0Wars: Rebellion<\/strong> is an asymmetrical\u00a0strategy game that sets the scene of an epic conflict between the Rebellion and the Empire.<\/p>\n

Unlike many other war games where you control a brave hero, Star Wars: Rebellion<\/strong><\/a> puts you in charge of the whole war. You need to pick the side as your arsenal, strategy, and win conditions are asymmetrical.<\/p>\n

If you decide to side with the\u00a0Galactic Empire, you get to control Stormtroopers, Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, and even the Death Star itself!<\/p>\n

The win the game you need to find the Rebel base and destroy it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the rebels are drastically outnumbered and outpowered by the Empire, the strategy is to avoid confrontation. Instead, you need to rally planets and build alliances with others. Moreover, you need to try and sabotage the Empire every time there is a chance.<\/p>\n

To win the game, it is imperative for rebels to get support from other galaxy citizens. Eventually, you need to gain enough\u00a0critical mass to conclude a full-scale galaxy revolt.
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/boardgamesland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/best-two-player-board-games-star-wars-rebellion-components.jpg” alt=”As one of the best 2 player strategy board games Star Wars: Rebellion is definitely a board game to consider.” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

As you would have expected, the game is exceptionally thematic. Depending on which side you play for, the emotions experienced are very different, in fact, asymmetrical again. Playing for the Empire feels epic since you\u00a0have the mighty galactic army at your disposal. Conversely, playing for Rebels feels impossible to win. However, by rallying planets and putting your negotiation skills to the test – it always gives you a sense of hope, even when the lookout is pretty grim.<\/p>\n

Rebellion<\/strong> is genuinely grandiose, in all regards. You get to feel it first by holding a massive and heavy box in your hands. It comes with\u00a0150 miniatures, two game boards, decks of cards, and two rulebooks (download here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The core rules are not complex, but the number of fine-print rules forces you to refer to the rulebooks frequently. It was only the third time around when we felt comfortable enough to play the game without checking the rules for special conditions. It is not a filler game either, as some games took us up to 4 hours to finish.<\/p>\n

Despite the length, the board game\u00a0nails the theme and offers an amazingly tactical and heroic experience. It\u00a0puts it among the best two-player<\/g> board games ever made, but it is not for everyone. The game requires energy and more importantly – commitment. Moreover, to make the game truly shine, you need to have the same levels of dedication and enthusiasm from your gaming partner since in mastering the game comes the greatest enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
\n

The game is a must-buy for any Star Wars fan who is ready to commit to longer playing sessions and does not mind the above-average complexity that comes with the game. If that is you, the Star Wars: Rebellion<\/a> will reward you with an immersive, intense, thematic, and profound experience that would leave you thinking and talking about it for days after.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

7 Wonders Duel<\/strong> is a two-player re-implementation of the highly acclaimed and successful 7 Wonders board game that came out in 2010.<\/p>\n

Amongst the crazy hype and accolades, the original game has also received a fair share of criticism for not being two-player friendly. Five years down the track –\u00a0 voila,\u00a07 Wonders Duel<\/strong><\/a> came out.<\/p>\n

In the game, the players lead a civilization by constructing buildings and wonders.<\/p>\n

You get to draft the cards that represent either economic,\u00a0scientific, military, or cultural advancement.<\/p>\n
