Why we picked this?

You Against Me will help scratch that competitive itch. It’s a head-to-head turn-based board game that has trying to claim more squares than your opponent by playing numbered cards. Each covered number on the board earns you one point. After a card is played, you’re able to replenish your hand by taking a card from either player’s draw pile since each card has two sides. To lock a number on the board, simply cover the numbers directly above and below or to the sides of the number. The game includes a full tutorial, two AI opponents, pass and play multiplayer, and online multiplayer.

You enjoy the thrill of competition. This is a fantastic turn-based board game to enjoy with a friend.

You don’t have anyone to play with. You can compete against random opponents online, however.
