Why Lost Cities.

Two-player card game by the designer of Catan. Travels well. Plays clean.

It plays best in two players, date night and long flight situations — that's where this pick earns its place over the alternatives at the same weight class.

No paid placement. No sponsorship. We tested the game and chose it. The Amazon link funds the lights — if you'd rather buy direct from a local game store, find one via BoardGameGeek.
