My partner and I enjoy plenty of heavy boardgames, but on work nights it can be tough to muster the energy to pull out a big game. What small 2p games do you enjoy that are coffee table scale and easy to play when you're fuel tank is low?

I'm not sure it fits perfectly, but clank is one I've really enjoyed with 3 players. It shines with 3, but 2 can play as well. It's a dungeon race at its core, so there's slightly less going on with fewer players.

Another that might fit even better is wingspan/wyrmspan. They also shine with 3, but are more about your own buildup, pretty chill, and even work down to solo play.

Edit: if you like card games, especially euchre, California Jack is one I found to be pretty fun and unexpectedly interesting with two people. The scoring is a nice twist. It's a trick-taking game just like euchre, but you also tally up your cards at the end. It lends pretty well to some light strategic play. I also have to mention Golf, just because I've had a good time with it. Card games can be classic and cozy.
