So, picking this back up, our cable bill is about to raise. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want to keep it.

We've been playing board games more recently. Trying to find 2-player games. Some of our favorites:

Uno: geez, I forgot how fun this game is. Totally insane with only 2 players.
Carcassone: This one took a few tries to really get into it. There is definitely strategy involved, and we can never play just one game - we always want to set it back up and play again.
Ticket to Ride: Probably the best board game I've played since learning A&A a million years ago. It's a very fun game. We got the 'Europe' version - there are variations with it that add an additional element of strategy. It is expensive, though
Shut the Box: there should be more 'drinking' elements to this game - impossibly simple, very little strategy, but still fun
Othello: really fun as well

Anyone play any other games? I've heard about some others, like Agricola and Underworld, but we might just stick with the ones we have and get some expansion packs - I've even heard there's a 2-player version in Settlers of Catan with the 'Traders & Barbarians' expansion. I love that game.
