Two person casual games

My wife and I are empty nesters and prefer action of sorts to TV...
Hiking and hobbies are good, and we also like to play games.
We play some simple ones - e.g. Skip-Bo - which have some skill but are mostly luck. Mexican train dominoes ( which is better with more people). A Chinese card game taught to us by my sister's husband. We'd like a few more.

Prefer some skill but not like chess. Backgammon is still pretty good.
Nice to have 30-60 minute games.

Here is a list from a gamer that might have a few good additions for us

Suggestions for games

One extra twist we use is that whoever wins two in a row is the champion. We keep track of who is king or queen and perks are attached :-)
