Best Two Player Games
The PC Gamer has done a roundup of their favorite games designed for two players. "If a game isn't built entirely around a 1v1 face-off, it isn't featured here among the very best two-player board games. For this list, I'm focusing on games designed exclusively for two players."

Reviews
Floor Plan (Board Game Quest): “A fun roll and write where you have to be aware of the space available. And the theme will certainly appeal to the home improvement crowd.”

Noctiluca (What’s Eric Playing): “I was more than pleasantly surprised by the game’s aesthetic; it’s almost calming to play, as you’re sort of just grabbing dice along lines and the art direction of the game does a really good job of allowing me, the player, to imagine a dark tide pool or something. Very pleasant.”

Jaipur (Scott Scoop): “A fast game, taking only about 10 minutes per round. It’s an excellent game for families and some gamers, but people looking for a complicated game will be turned away from it due to its simplicity.”
