This is an old game that looks pretty boring, but can actually be tons of fun. It doesn't take long to learn the rules, so you'll get the hang of it right away. It's a two player game, and all you have to do is get as many gems as you can onto your side of the board. The best part? The board isn't all that big, so you can toss it in your pocketbook and play it with your man wherever you go.
2. Guillotine

This is a card game that takes about a half hour to complete. You two will be acting as explorers who are aiming to go on the craziest adventures that they can. During every one of the three rounds, you'll earn points by going on daring expeditions. The person with the highest score at the end of the game is the winner.

This board game doesn't actually contain a board. It simply provides you with a bunch of blocks. No, that doesn't mean that this game is for children. It's actually a twist on Scrabble and matching games, where you must place matching blocks on the table or ground in front of you. It's an entertaining game that'll make you think, and it only takes 45 minutes to play.
5. Mastermind

You might've played this game before. All you have to do is place a few different colored balls on the board where your opponent cannot see them. Then they're going to try to match the colors that you've chosen. Whenever they get a color right, you have to tell them, so that they have a higher chance of guessing the order right on their next turn.
6. Small World

You can play this game with your partner, even though it's meant for two to six players. Just make sure you have a lot of time on your hands, because it can take up to an hour to play. What do you have to do? Well, "players vie for conquest and control of a board that is simply too small to accommodate them all."
7. Sex! the Board Game

If you're playing a game with your partner, you might as well make it sexual. There are plenty of games out there that are meant to bring you two closer together (physically and emotionally). This game in particular will allow you and your lover to "engage in erotic foreplay and tantalizing treats." Now doesn't that sound like fun?
Now you'll never be bored again on rainy days! What's your favorite board game to play with your partner?
Comments
Jenn: It's almost impossible to find anymore but Truth or Dare Jenga is THE BEST FUN!!! Plus there are blank bricks, so you can search out and create your own T & D's, but the dares are sooo much fun, especially when it's a new relationship
Wendy: Mancala. I haven't played since a kid! Another game I love to play with my husband is Twister. Battleship is one of my favorites too.
Kim: Ticket to ride ( any version).
Pat: Mancala! So much fun especially on a cold winter evening in front of a fire.
TinkerbellMoi: You forgot to mention Taboo and Apples to Apples! These are fun too.
