Anyone know any good cooperative board/card games for two that are:
1. Easy to learn and understand 2. Easy to buy and relatively inexpensive?
If you're local library has boardgames, you can check out a bunch of two player games to try out!
My go-to for simple cooperative activity is jigsaw puzzles. Just go at your own pace and enjoy.
I play 7wonders Duel with my partner sometimes and I would recommend it.
board game arena (BGA) is affordable (even the paid plan which does not allow same IP address, but 1 computer on VPN bypasses that) and has a bunch of games to try. I used to play on BGA a lot with my non-gamer then-girlfriend when we were long distance and found a bunch of games.
The easier coop ones on BGA I found were: Hanabi, the Crew, Forbidden Island. The coop ones that I found outside of coop games were Pandemic and Flash Point.
