My favourite two player (can be played by 3, too) game is rampart.
You select a castle, place cannons and shoot the opponent's walls.
In the next round you have to build up your walls with tetris-styled pieces
and enlarge your territory, then place new cannons etc.
There are several types of cannons and some nice gadgets (the propaganda balloon
to take over an enemy gun for example)
The game ends if one player has failed 3 times to surround at least one castle.
Two players can use keyboard and/or joystick and/or mouse, if 3 wants to play,
one have to take either mouse or joystick (six hands on the keyboard  are tooo
much).                          |
And the winner has the chance to| let the others say "good bye" to their head.
Nice to prove friendship ;)     |    |    |
