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?

Ingenious, by Reiner Knizia. Scales well up to four players and is very well balanced.

The key mechanic is that there are six colors and scores and your lowest is the one that counts most.

So it's a race to develop your colors while preventing your opponents from doing the same.
