5) Trying new restaurants
6) Wine tasting
7) Coffee shops
8) Going to the bookstore
9) Museums, theater, concerts, etc.

Durak. This is a GREAT game if you ever have more than two people, as well. It's by far my favorite card game and I've certainly played a lot of them...

I'm thinking about getting the settlers of catan card game. It doesn't seem to extreme, but I dunno. Any suggestions?


warhammer 40k?

Settlers is a pretty good game. There is also a game called Puerto Rico which is pretty fun (although probably more fun with 3 or 4)

Settlers of catan card game is definitely fun. I think there's an A&A normandy that can be a 2P game...

Edit: Battleship?

She wasn't a huge fan of sims #1, but maybe I'll get sims 2 and let her go wild. I do think she'd enjoy designing stuff.
