The first game that comes to mind is gin which you just play with an ordinary deck of cards. You can probably get a cheap cribbage set too. ooh and Set. Set is awesome.

askye, I will take a look at my stash and see if I have any I can send you. I know I was looking for two-person games for a while, I don't remember if I bought any...

If we go for the discards, I would have to discard randomly (WEAKNESS!) and [looks at hand] that would suck right now, so we're all going to have to tighten our belts.
Option 1
What are good 2 player board or card games that aren't too expensiveI will second "Set" rec, that's a fun game for all ages. I also like Yikerz [link]
Deck of cards is an infitie number of games. Two decks you can then play dualing solataire!
I forgot about Yikers! We had a blast playing that.

I can't say I'm not glad I get to keep my cards. Maybe we can "make" some food.

Food falls by 1. Next, the basestar fires:
Die roll: 1. Miss.
That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Hmm. Okay, well, I don't want to let this one slip out of my hands again, so I'll not move and play SoE6. For my action I'll discard StP1 & CP1 to activate COMMS to look at the new civvie. I know it means an extra action to the metalman, but I think it's worth it for the extra actions for us.
BSG (Apollo)
Oh, fun! These are always so exciting.
