Steve Jackson Games' games that are suitable for two players

[csm]

As mentioned in the Revolution! thread, I would love to find games that both myself and my wife can play together effectively. We've already purchased Munchkin Quest, Munchkin, Zombie Dice, Knightmare Chess 2, and Chthulhu Dice. What other Steve Jackson Games' games are there that would be suitable for two players? Games that can scale to more than two players are preferred, as we're not complete hermits all of the time. ;)

Andrew: Thanks for the pointer to Awful Green Things. That looks like a pretty fun two player game.

What about INWO ?

Snits is a great two-player game; my wife and I play it frequently. Awful Green Things (as mentioned) is equally excellent. And Cowpoker plays almost identically with 2-4 players, due to the "ghost hands."

The Stars Are Right work greatly with two or three players.

Ogre is a perfect 2 player game and you can add in GEV.

Strange Synergy also works well with only 2 players.

Strange Synergy plays fine (as well as it does regardless, anyway) with two.

Hmm, Snits sounds like an interesting game, though sadly it's showing out of print.

I'll have to check out Awful Green Things. That looks like it could be a very fun game.

First I've heard of Cowpoker. Will check that out.

The Stars are Right: Ah, I'd almost forgotten about that one.

Strange Synergy: That game looks, um... weird. And out of print as well. I think we'll pass on that one for now.

INWO: I think my FLGS has this one in stock. Will check it out.

Ogre: What's the best way to get into this game? I've looked at the PDF rules and such, and can't make head nor tail over what I'd need to make this work.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Very much appreciated!

Unlikely. It was published during the CCG craze, and has been OOP for awhile and unless you like the whole CCG thing, I don't recommend playing it. They may have the newer version of the older standalone game Deluxe Illuminati but IIRC it's not two player.

There's really two completely different incarnations of the game: the OGRE/GEV board games (which are all OOP, but likely to return in the next couple of years) and OGRE Miniatures. The minatures game is the one that's available online, but you'd have to get your own minis (which don't have to be actually pewter miniatures, you could use any random objects as long as the scale is right).

Awful Green Things from Outer Space!

It's a two player game and is out in print again... woot!
