Written by Jonnii Small - Feb 10 2021
This weekend it’s Valentine’s Day and even if you can’t go out for a meal on this loving day, you can definitely stay inside and play some board games with those you love! While this is a list of games that are perfect for couples, most of them can be played with more than two and some are even solo-able!
Pandemic is one of the best and most popular co-operative game, which makes it perfect for this list! You’ll work with your other half trying to save the world from a growing global pandemic (sounds familiar, right?), jet setting to different countries, stopping epidemics and outbreaks, and eventually defeating the virus! By working in-sync with one another and helping each other out, you’ll help to keep the world safe!
The Unlock! series of games are essentially escape rooms in a box, so if you love an escape room and are looking to try something like that in the safety of your own home, this is the perfect option for you this Valentine’s Day! There are a lot of different Unlock! games, enough to suit everyone’s tastes and can play from solo up to 6 if you’re looking for a game past Valentine’s!
Star Wars: Rebellion is the embodiment of the original Star Wars saga in a board game, and it plays best at 2, so why not give it a go this Valentine’s Day! It’s competitive and asymmetric, which might not be for all couples, but for those who like to compete with one another, Star Wars: Rebellion is great! Known as one of the best two player games, this galaxy spanning game of hide and seek could make you’re Valentine’s Day under lockdown all the better!
In Marvel Champions you take on the role of a Marvel superhero, working with your other heroes and defeating the villain! You’ll build your deck together, fight together and help each other out when you’re in dire straits! With a large number of villains and heroes to try out, Marvel Champions is endlessly replayable and could add some spice to your Valentine’s Day fun!
Lord of the Rings is all about adventure, and there’s no bigger adventure on the tabletop than Journeys in Middle-Earth! Take control of a hero in Middle-Earth and work with your partner to adventure within one of several campaigns, discovering mysteries and destroying foul creatures! Together, you can face and vanquish the threat of darkness in Middle-Earth!
If you’re looking for a deck-building game this Valentine’s Day, Clank! might be what you’re looking for! Not only is the artwork stunning and fun, but the game itself is also constantly exciting and engaging! It is competitive which may not be for some but could still liven up your day at home! There are many different versions of Clank! to take a look at from In Space! to Legacy, so why not take a look and see which one takes your fancy!
And finally, another competitive one to try out this Valentine’s Day is Railroad Ink! It’s a relatively solitaire but absolutely fun game where you draw train tracks and roads to gain the most points! Inside there are additional modular expansions you can add to make your gameplay even more interesting!
