The best two-player game for your mood
Choose War for a nearly automatic quick game, Go Fish for memory and deduction, or Crazy Eights for a fast race to empty your hand. Trash has satisfying chain reactions, while Thirty-One and Kings in the Corner reward more deliberate planning.
The Golf family is ideal when you want a complete match with a running score. Four Card Golf is the fastest version, Six Card Golf is the easiest all-around choice, and Nine Card Golf adds a larger grid and more strategy.
