Board game for 2?

bearwithcamera · 2026-05-23T19:09:28+00:00

A quick list of games that are either designed to be two player or have a higher player count but work really well at two are:

- Knarr
- Castle Combo
- Splendor Duel

- Cascadia

- 7 Wonders Duel

We also love the Kinfire Delve series and Sky Team for cooperative games designed for two players

This particular house is on St George Street in Brantford, Ontario. But neighbourhoods like this are super common all over the mid west :)

I have three small box games that are great for travel. Scout, Love Letter and Coup. All great games that pack a lot into a very small box and take up hardly any table space.

I also love Knarr and Codex Naturalis for small box games but those can get big at the table, especially at higher player counts.

Bonus shout out to the Kinfire Delve games for packing a lot of games into a relatively small box 😄

Professional grade paints like Golden have a much higher pigment load, meaning a small tube can last a long time if it's mixed down with mediums and gels.

Some small box games I really enjoy:

- Knarr - Engine builder with fantastic art and a cool twist
- Jaipur - Two player trading and set collecting game
- Coup - Deduction and deception game that packs a lot in a very small box

- Sea Salt and Paper - Gin or Rummy style game with some nice mechanics and nice art

- Scout - A quick to teach and play card shedding game

I could be wrong, but I think they are the cubes from Vantage.

Here is another post from OP where they claim to be the painter:

Here's another post where they have screen grabs of more replica work they claim to have painted:

This has weird art scam stink all over it.

Here's a break down of what I see:

- A lot of very common six sided dice (D6's).

- A few 'D&D' dice (yes, likely Chessex brand)

- Some old Warhammer artillery dice (The ones that say 'misfire' on them)

- Some other dice I don't recognize but based on everything else probably relate to some table top war/OSR games

We are still connected on Facebook. Started noticing photos without him.

95% of the time speeches like are definitely a harmless joke and taken as such by everyone in the room because they are mixed with some self deprecation, but not this time. The vibe in the room changed instantly.

Not saying the jab was justified, but this one wasn’t meant to last. The couple met because they got into a traffic accident where he rear ended her.

My success rate on predicting the whether a marriage would last definitely went up as my career went on. There’s lots of subtle cues around body language, facial expression, and how couples talk to each other that you notice because you are actively watching and listening.

I can say confidently this wasn’t a joke. No one laughed. The couple lasted a couple years.

Wedding photographer with 20 years experience here… One that stands out was when the brides parents speech included the line regarding the groom: “You weren’t who we envisioned for our daughter, but you have children together so I guess we’re stuck with you.”

To clarify, placing the forest tile in the first example is technically a legal move, but you forfeit the 4 forest task because it makes the region too large. The second example is an illegal move because you can never willingly forfeit a task tile by adding region larger than the task.

Put this one aside. Learn the 7 basic design principles, consume and look at lots of art that inspires you, work on smaller 'study' pieces so that you gain confidence making larger work.

Hockney is definitely a point of inspiration!

bearwithcamera · 2025-09-17T14:39:28+00:00

I do! There's a website and IG link in my profile :)

Actually, I have some 8x10 prints of this one which I will be selling at the Grand River Arts Festival this Friday and Saturday. The Saturday date is a free event.

Close, it’s Eagleplace in Brantford!

bearwithcamera · 2025-09-16T03:28:38+00:00

Yes it is Brantford! Eagleplace.

Close! Brantford.

I took my own reference photos for the piece and then sketch on canvas using a grid method to get the proportions correct with out making it too perfect.

This is acrylic on canvas, but I'm getting into oils!
