I definitely recommend City of Iron: 2nd Edition-- it's a pretty neat take on deckbuilding combined with economic/city building. But I've liked most of the games Red Raven Games has put out-- Eight Minute Empire: Legends is another good one for filling a short time period.

Yomi is also really cool, and it's probably the 2 player game I've played the most. It's essentially a fighting game where each deck of 52 cards represents a different character. Technically you only need two character decks, but the game really shines when you have access to all of the decks, since it's nice to be able to try out different characters and see how each one plays relative to one another. Each character has attacks, throws, dodges, and blocks (plus some special abilities on cards and the character card). The basic premise is out-thinking your opponent since attack beats throw, throw beats dodge, and dodge/block beat attack (in different ways).

thanks for the recs! i'll look for them at our cafe, which i go to 1x-2x a month. it's not an endless selection, but they've got tons of staples and tons of games i haven't played or even heard of.
