Quick answers
What is the best strategy game for two players?
Clash Royale — its 2v2 mode lets you battle side by side, which is where it really clicks for a duo.
What if one of us is much better at strategy games?
Pick the co-op or 2v2 modes — you play on the same side, so a skill gap becomes an asset instead of a problem.
