Can anyone recomend games similar to this and Forbidden Desert that work well with just 2 players? Thanks!

Try Castle Panic (with the Wizards Tower expansion is best). It's a fantastic cooperative game and can be played with up to 6 players, but it still fun with just two.

How would you regard the replay value of this game?

There is a lot of replay value. Because of the random game tiles and cards you can get a lot out of it. Plus you can adjust the difficulty of the game for a bigger challenge.

Is this a good game for adults

Yes and no. It is a fun and easy game. The replay value is good because the board and characters change. Unfortunately, most adults will outgrow this game. Since the game mechanics are so easy to learn, it's a great game to get into collaborative gaming or for playing with younger children.

Is this good for children

We play with our 8 yo daughter and 6 yo son, starting when he was 5. He's very insightful about good moves and understands entirely what is going on, but we play collaboratively so I don't know whether he would do as well on his own (that is, whether a group of kids would enjoy it as much on their own).
