Games

While on your travels, you may want to bring something along with you to occupy your time during a long flight, train or ferry ride.  A single deck of cards is perhaps the simplest thing to bring with you as they are lightweight and take up little space in your pack while providing countless gaming possibilities.

There are virtually unlimited possibilities when it comes to bringing games with you such as miniaturized versions of Chess, Checkers and Backgammon.

Cards

Nothing beats a simple game of cards to pass the time while on your travels.

Everyone knows a few basic card games but our advice is to find some new games and print the rules to give you some alternatives.

 


Pass the Pigs

For something different, try this game where instead of rolling dice, you role a couple of pigs.

The game inexpensive, fun and simple to play, especially for kids.  It's available in a small travel size enclosing the pigs, score cards and scoring table.

The Basic Rules

  1. Play to a pre-set number of points
  2. Roll the pigs and depending on how the pigs land, you will obtain points
  3. Consult the scoring card for pig position points
  4. Decide to continue rolling or 'Pass the Pigs' to the next player (certain rolls will cause you to loose your points)
