The saloon doors suddenly burst open behind you as your boots skid across the dusty wooden boards of the sidewalk. A split-second later, gunfire cracks through the afternoon air, the bullet ricocheting off a pail of water, sending startled townsfolk diving for cover. Diving behind an old barrel offers you a moment of shelter, although the sound of heavy footsteps suggests your pursuer is closing in on you. Then, glass shatters somewhere near the jail, followed by the sharp whistle of a bullet passing far too close for comfort. A grin spreads across your face as you raise your revolver and prepare to return fire. Well, that's what you get when you arrive in Rattlesnake by Michael Hardacre from @ospreygames with art by Roland MacDonald.

Hi, it's Joe Slack here. Oliver was kind enough to allow me to write another guest blog. In this article, I thought it would be interesting to discuss board games for two and the gaming experience for two people (especially couples).

Had a chance trying #Splendor: Duel with my wife tonight. Gotta say, its better than Splendor, which is one of my top favorite family games. It does kinda feel somewhat like #7Wonders: Duel, but even if it feels the same, its a very different game (and so much better than Duel for Middle-Earth). Or, perhaps a better description would be a hybrid between the two.

For people looking to get funky with #2player games, this is definitely going on my top 5 recommendations!
