There’s a podcast dedicated to this - Low Player Count. However, you probably want to look at games designed for 2 people for starters - Star Realms, Epic, Agricola: All Creatures Big & Small, Among the Stars: Revival.

You can also look at www.boardgamegeek.com and search for games that have a community opinion of…

It’s a good game, but definitely “fiddly” to play and keep track of everything (even using the Sidekick app that’s available). I like it, but bookkeeping is definitely a challenge. :)

There was an attempt to make it on Kickstarter, but the entry cost to get a copy of the game was pretty insane - $300 or $400, if I remember correctly. Had they started with something more scaled down it might have succeeded.

Worth noting that when you use AAA's TripTik to plan a road trip and your "straight shot" would be near NYC, you should ask them to route you another way. Mileage will be similar, but time will be hugely different. :) Example - I-81 <-> I-84 as opposed to I-95. Maybe 10-20 miles longer, but easily an hour or more…

You can access the desktop, but if you just want to run an app or two, this could be the better way to do it. Remote Apps is a…

Look for the apps in your programs by starting to type its name at the start screen or pulling out the search option in the Charms bar, right-click the app you want to include on the start-screen, and choose the bottom option to pin it to start. Not sure about the tablet equivalent for bringing up the bottom bar, but…
