As Shabbos afternoons get longer, DH and I want to get a game to play together. Any suggestions?

TIA

Banagram (f less problematic than scrabble because there is no board - if that is a problem for you)

Set

More relaxed:

Definitely banangrams.

Are you guys intense with your game playing? If so, you should try Settlers. It's really meant for 3-4 people, but DH and I play just the two of us all the time. It's intense though, so steer clear if you're looking for something light, lol.

Izzy -- it's more of a non-competitve puzzle than a game: Izzy on Amazon

And another vote for Bananagrams.

Settlers of Catan- there is a two person version, or you can invite another couple over to play.
