Foothills
Foothills is a compact two-player euro with the feel of a Mini Snowdonia, but without asking for an entire evening. For anyone who enjoys tight, fair games for two, it is a small gem.

Foothills delivers that satisfying Mini Snowdonia feeling: a small box on the table which somehow becomes a proper euro before you have quite noticed. It is not trying to be Fields of Arle in miniature, and thankfully it does not need to be.
In roughly 45 minutes, with two players, it gives you a clean, competitive contest with no luck leaning on the result. This is the sort of game that suits a Tuesday after work: substantial enough to feel like you played something proper, short enough that the rest of your life need not file an objection.

If euros and compact two-player titles such as Cave2Cave and Inland Port are your sort of thing, I would buy this blind. At a sensible price, with competition this tight, Foothills is quietly excellent.
