Games we’ve been playing recently 💃🏼 filmed our latest episode of our board game highlights series yesterday, where we discuss the games featured here. Up soon!
Heroes of Might and Magic: The Card Game is a two-player card game based on the internationally acclaimed video game series. Dive into the world of Erathia, where you'll command iconic Heroes, summon fearsome Monsters, and wield powerful Spells and Artifacts.
At the start of your journey, you’ll face your first primary choice: which Hero will lead your forces? Build a deck tailored to your chosen champion, develop your strategy, and prove you are the most powerful Hero in all of Erathia.
Create unique tactics, summon creatures familiar to fans of the original games, and challenge rival Heroes in tactical battles. Your faction grants you access to specific effects, while your Hero provides you powerful abilities.
Although your Hero and faction will shape your early game, the battlefield is ever-changing. As the game unfolds, powerful Artifacts and Locations may reveal new paths to victory — adapt, outsmart, and conquer!

We thought we'd share our favourite games to play when it's just the two of us, that aren't specifically designed for two players! It's quite easy these days to find a list of great games for two players only, but much harder to figure out if games designed for 4 or 6 players would be worth getting if you only play with two people. We briefly describe each game and then take you through which aspects of the game design make it so much fun at two players, while contrasting it with what is different at higher player counts.
This is episode 12 so be sure to check out the others!
