Games For Two People

Rubik's Magic Strategy Game [Christmas present, eBay]
The players put down their tiles in turns. They may choose between the silver and the black side of the tiles. Before a player puts down his or her tile he or she turns one tile of the opponent's. The aim is to put down your own tiles so that three of them in the same color end up in one row.

The middle piece of the orange face is missing it's cap.

Tantrix Strategy Game [flea market, 1,50 €, June 2008]
The game consists of 56 tiles and can be played by 2-4 players. Each player attempts to form the longest line of his or her own color, while at the same time attempting to restrict the other player's progress.
The tiles can also be used as a puzzle. For that the tiles have to be arranged in a certain form.

Logic Trainer [flea market, 0,50 €, fall 2007]
This game is played by a codemaker and a codebreaker. The codemaker makes up a pattern of four colored pegs. The codebreaker tries to guess the pattern, then gets hints as to how many colors and how many positions he got right and tries again. I also own a handbook to this game.
