start yelling and arguing with each other. Ugh. Too many perfectionist A-types sitting around one table, each knowing the most effective way to hurt the other's feelings.

And that's just the toddlers playing Candyland.

I'm sure you'll think of 2-player things to do with your wife if you concentrate

Yeah, I'm looking for games that take more than 2 minutes to play though.

I think mostly the games we played would be best with more players but we make sure to get 2 player compatible games.

I should have been more clear. We can't even figure out game play. Strategy will come when we figure out what the heck

Our boardgames also end with tantrums and tears. But I still like it better than vegging to Studio C.
