Portable, easy to carry, and sure to fit within the restrictive prison bars of your luggage, the right travel game will be the friend you need by your side to keep fun and entertainment at record highs. If doom-scrolling is no longer an option, the travel-size editions of your favourite board games will be. You couldn’t get rid of them if you tried! (For legal reasons, this is not a threat.) I Spy, Scrabble, Who’s Who, Pass The Bomb, Escape The Room, the aptly named Travel Diaries; the list goes on, and it literally never ends.
Compete, contest, and one-up your family, friends, kids, or partner in those quiet evenings at the Airbnb. And just like our collection of family games, these travel games each contain within them the magical ability of family-bonding time, passed down from the merrymaking wizards in our bloodlines for generations before somehow making their way into our unsuspecting hands.
So wield their power with caution, and bust out the cure-all for boredom (A.K.A. our best sellers) whenever you feel a disturbance in the atmosphere that you later realise is just Negative Nancy and Debbie Downer trying to ruin the mood of your long-awaited annual leave. And never forget this lesson, young sorcerer: everything in the board game geek top 100 is travel-size if you try hard enough.
