Some Of The Best 2 Player Adventure Board Games
Try the classic board game Arkham Horror and explore its extensions that will put your strategic skills at test, while also giving you the taste of an adventure.
One of its extensions, titled V3, takes you to the Massachusetts of the 1920s. These, however, are not the bohemian20s, as we've come to know them. In the reality of the game, murky plots are born in the shadows and madness pervades everything. Nightmarish creatures are never too far, forever seeking gateways to our universe. Not all is lost, so don't despair, as courageous adventurers stand up against the shadows and monsters, risking both their lives and sanity. The third edition of the fascinating Horrors of Arkham mixes horror and investigation, in the universe imagined by H.P. Lovecraft. This updated version will allow you to plunge into the dark streets and smoky pubs, in the company of your fellow player (or players), to save the world, once again!
The expansion from the Arkham universe, Arkham Horror Third Edition: Dead of night, makes this an even better adventure board game. Above all, in the Dead of Night, you should stay awake. At the darkest hour of the night, when the good people of Arkham sleep at their homes, behind closed doors and with shutters down, the evil congregates in the city's shadowy streets and dark corners. Who will fight against lawless criminals and sinister cults who purpose is to carry out their evil schemes?
The Dead of Night offers a fresh take on the Arkham Horror series by doubling the number of encounter cards and adding new investigators and scenarios. Players will be able to learn more about the history and people of Arkham in their fight to save the city and the whole world from the menacing evil forces.
If the Dead of Night has managed to captivate you, you will also surely like the game's extension called Mansions of Madness. The game is a cooperative horror and mystery board game for one to five players and is perfect for two players. The players turn into investigators who venture into the haunted mansions of Arkham discovering secrets, solving mysteries and facing supernatural dangers. The Mansions of Madness also includes a conversion kit that will allow the fans of the first edition to use their investigators, monsters and tiles with this new version.
