hoo: what qualifies a board game as female friendly? are some board games female antagonistic? a misogynistic board game? i don't get it.
Yeah, I've never been successful at getting women to play "Pimp Dat Ho" with me. >.>


But anyway. Is there a requirement that it be a physical board game? Because my favorite "short head to head strategy" game of all time absolutely has to be MULE, or E-hORsE or however they do it. I haven't tried that version yet (shortage of opponents to justify the cost), but if it's faithful to the original, it has everything you could want from a board game. Except no dice rolling, and no sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

Also, 3M used to make a bunch of very interesting 1v1 games that I had a blast with. For 1v1 strategy, Feudal was particularly engaging.
