Lots of 2-player game suggestions in [Good two-player games](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/good-two-player-games/1580) (some of which are language-independent).

**Hive** , **Jaipur** , and **Patchwork** are go-tos for me at 2p, language-independent, and easy to learn and play.

**Caesar! Seize Rome in 20 Minutes!** could work if the theme is ok, although might be complicated depending on the kid’s actual age (“less than 13” covers a pretty enormous range of cognitive capabilities).
