Look for a birthday present

Hello community,

in a few weeks I will habe my birthday, so I look for some presents.
Of course I want a board game, but I didn't know which.
So I look for a game that:
Is also funny for 2 players
A Game with the topic History oder something else (no fantasy, etc.)
A Game you can play many times
A Game you can play with strategys and without strategys
Have you some proposals for me?

Tricky to find one both with and without strategy.....how about this one

http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37380/roll-through-the-ages-the-bronze-age
In Roll Through the Ages, players roll dice to obtain commodities and workers to build up their civilizations. Dice can be rerolled twice unless they come up as a hazard. Players use their workers to build infrastructure to support additional works or to build monuments that are worth points. At the same time commodities are gathered that allow your civilization to develop. Once all monuments or five developments are achieved by a player, the game ends at the end of the round, points are counted, and a victor is declared.



Or
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders

7 Wonders lasts three ages. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player, as in Fairy Tale or a Magic: the Gathering booster draft. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. (Players have individual boards with special powers on which to organize their cards, and the boards are double-sided as in Bauza's Ghost Stories.) Each player then chooses another card from the deck they were passed, and the process repeats until players have six cards in play from that age. After three ages, the game ends.

In essence 7 Wonders is a card development game along the lines of Race for the Galaxy or Dominion. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some cards provide discounts on future purchases. Some provide military strength to overpower your neighbors and others give nothing but victory points. Unlike Magic or Fairy Tale, however, each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you'll know which cards your neighbor is receiving and how his choices might affect what you've already built up. Cards are passed left-right-left over the three ages, so you need to keep an eye on the neighbors in both directions.

Though the box of earlier editions is listed as being for 3-7 players, there is an official 2-player variant included in the instructions.

Thank you for this tipps.

The idea of 7 wonders is very great, but the game-mechanic is very boring. Took a card - Give the other cards to your neighboor - took a card.......

You'd think it would be boring, but its actaully very fun! With some hands the choice is easy, but with others you have to weigh the advantages and disavantages untill you pick one that fits your strategy.

The game also has some replayability factors. Not as much as Dominion, but the game can be pretty fresh each time you play.

Just out of interest Lenny, how old will you be? This is the internet so you could be anywhere from 10 - 99, and that could influence the game suggestions.

As a general any ages game though, there is also Zooleretto

http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27588/zooloretto
Each player uses small, large, wild, and exotic animals and their young to try to attract as many visitors as possible to their zoo. But be careful - the zoo must be carefully planned. Before you know it, you have too many animals and no more room for them. That brings minus points! Luckily, your zoo can expand.
