Hi All,

Kingdomino

A few to get you started, links are to a reliable online board game retailer. All those boxes run on the smaller side as games go.

I own a mobile phone so would not need to take extra games

Why do you even come on this forum? You bring nothing

Completely depends on you and the missus, you've given us basically no information here.

Maybe a compact version of battleships would be best, maybe a small chess set or draughts... maybe connect four, maybe just bring a pack of cards... Who knows...

Plenty of hotels and guest houses have books and board games you can borrow anyway so maybe just check if yours does?

If so, the best thing is probably to bring nothing and just borrow a full-size game when you get there instead of packing some naff travel version.

Naked twister when the little one has gone to sleep?

 

[ColdAsIce]

Catan

 

[poosemon]

Sushi Go is a bit of fun, quite fast paced, games don't take long. It is scored so can keep a running total if you want to.

Do people play hangman anymore?

Some Switch games can you give a quick laugh too
