RE: The Stars Are Right [card game review]
I feel your pain. This game can be played with 2. It even goes faster that way, with fewer people pondering patterns on the board.
But the best 2-person game we've played recently is an expanded chess-like thing called The Duke.
My wife really likes that one. I'll have to do a post about that one the next time we play (which might be soon, because we're still snowed in).

I'm gonna run the duke by her - it's always a question with competitive games whether we'll get into a screaming match, but we tend to do well with chess.
I find it's helpful if I let her read the rules on her own first, like homework, so I'm not playing against her and teaching her at the same time.
Definitely good advice - unfortunately even once the rules are understood our tendency is to just tear each other to pieces in gameplaying - we're both too competitive :)
