Travel by games

With so many combinations possible, you can play this game almost endlessly, with different combinations of team members making for very different results! This competitive and fun travel game will have you second-guessing every word given by your spymaster in the attempt to identify your undercover agents. The traditional stylings of the box might not look much, but bear with us, for Catan is a big hit with everyone that plays it!

Credited with igniting the recent craze for board games, Catan requires skill, strategy, and a little bit of cooperation between players too.

The ultimate aim is to reach ten victory points and to do this each player begins building their own settlement through farming, trading, and other choices. Want something more than a travel game of chance and luck? Catan meets this need, with its requirement for careful consideration and strategy.

It also emphasizes the need for cooperation, which is great for children and has an almost infinite playing board thanks to its jigsaw-like setup. Made for travel, Sequence Travel Edition combines the basic premise of a number of games including Connect4 and poker into one large board-based travel game. Even the cards used in a miniature pack for travel, while the game itself is simple enough that children will be readily able to play. Those who have played the full-sized version of Sequence might be a little unimpressed by the Travel Edition, however, for a game that will keep children and adults entertained for half an hour or more, we still rate Sequence Travel Edition as a fine travel game!

The colorful playing pieces of Qwirkle Travel play rather like dominoes on steroids. The aim is to place connecting tiles next to each other, but instead of tiles comprising numbers, they are of various shapes and colors. An orange square can be placed next to a red square, which can be followed by a red circle, for instance.

And to make it slightly more complicated, each color can only appear in a row once! The winner of each round is the player that has put down the most tiles, in the most rows, so some strategy is needed too. Easy to understand, but requiring enough strategy to keep players entertained, Qwirkle Travel is family fun at its very best.

Though it can be a rapid-fire game, the thought required also means a game can last 45 minutes — an ideal length of time for many travel experiences. What makes the Wonders of the World version particularly relevant to travel is its world theme, with plenty of intriguing facts to keep everyone paying attention while the game goes on. And that game goes on right up until the time when one player holds all the cards!

A Monopoly for cars, players need to fill up on petrol, avoid accidents, and block the progress of other players to reach the end of the mile journey. Ironically perhaps, this is actually an incredibly fast-paced game, so pay attention! Looking for an alternative to Monopoly? Mille Bornes fills that niche, without the need for a board. The resulting card-based game is a classic, particularly in its birthplace of France.

Nothing gets classic status without reason, so why not splash out and try Mille Bornes for yourself? Another classic travel game is Uno.

Developed in the early s, it is as fresh today as when it was first invented, which says a lot about the simple elegance of this card game. Uno rapidly becomes addictive, which is exactly what you should be looking for in a travel game when you have a lot of dead time to fill up without getting bored! Lightweight and easy to pack, and suitable for everyone from the age of seven upwards, your career as an Uno champion could start today!
