Games to take on holiday for 15 yo

[maslinpan]

DS is about to be separated from the beloved Xbox when we go away for a fortnight. It's self catering in France, we have some outside space and will be near the beach. DD 18 will happily read for hours, but DS has lost his reading mojo and we need some good games to play. We'll have Boggle, cards, Skittles, but we need some more to grab his attention and avoid the hormonal mood swings.

Also, for something less serious, Charades and the Rizla game

Telestrations is amazing!

Rummikub. Huge family favourite here.

Throw throw avocado

More or less is good. Can last as long as you like, minutes or hours. And it's just a set of cards so easy to transport.

Perudo is fab

Exploding kittens is a fun one

We have 15DS and also packed for France!! We have packed cards, poker, backgammon, cards against humanity, scrabble, uno...he will play any of those but says cards against... is his favourite!

Zombie dice, king of Tokyo/new York, pandemic

Gubs is a really fun, compact card game that is engaging enough for teens and Monopoly Deal is the most addictive card game I've ever played. I could easily play it all afternoon and I hate normal Monopoly.

Get a cribbage board ?

Bananagrams
pandemic
mapominos
cards against humanity family addition
the cube
house of games
tsskmaster
scrabble

You need One Night Ultimate Werewolf.

The Fluxx games as good too. We like the Zombie version.

Maybe pick up a couple of novels that may catch his interest in cases the games do not catch his interest. Might pick up mojo for reading.

Kluster. It's so simple but incredibly addictive.
Bucket of Doom. Slightly risque, so teens should love it.
Get Bit. You gotta beat the shark...
