need two game centre accounts

How the hell do you create a 2nd Game Centre account, my husband and I both have ipads and have always shared the one apple id & game centre account but now we've got a couple of games where we want to play against each other or create an alliance but for the life of me I can't work out how we sent up a new game centre account for the 2nd ipad. Does anyone on here have a clue

You need to create a new Apple ID.

Game Center uses Apple ID for sign-in, but it doesn't have to be the same Apple ID used elsewhere on the device.

You can be signed in to a different Apple ID for Game Center without it affecting anything else such as the App Store, iTunes Store or iCloud.

Once you've set up a new Apple ID you can change the active account for Game Center in Settings > Game Center.

Tap on the Apple ID at the top and choose Sign Out. Then just sign in again using the other account.

If you use iOS8 there is Family Sharing which allows multiple Apple IDs to share apps:

We've got that switched on but if you're both playing the same game its linked to a shared Game Centre account - I'll try setting a new Apple ID
