2 Player boardgames

[spudbynight]

I've been talking to my wife about boardgames and she is quite keen to try something the two of us can play together.

I'm considering Carcassonne but I am keen on any other ideas people can chuck my way.

Games need to be reasonably straight forward. I don't want to scare her off at the beginning.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys!
