Recommend me a holiday game please!

[Adesignforstrife]

Due to go on holiday soon for a few weeks. I'd like to take a new game in case of rain/general boredom. We are travelling by car so space not a huge issue. Me, DH, and kids are 9 and 12 and enjoy a challenge. We've got value out of Quirkle, Pictionary, Cluedo,and family Trivial Pursuit, for example. Might be nice to have a smallish game suitable for taking to a pub but also interested in board games. 2019 is the summer of.....?

Dobble

I was just coming on to say Dobble but see I’ve been beaten to it! 😉

Yes we have dobble and we love it! . There must be something else!

Pass the Pigs is fun and travel friendly.

Labyrinth is bigger but great, it's been a favourite here for years.

Chinese checkers? I used to love it as a kid. Or embrace poker (I always had to have a book next to me to check the rules).

Have you got bananagrams?

We love Uno.

Exploding kittens?

Exploding kittens, Phase 10 or Yahtzee

Yes Bananagrams is good if you don’t have it.

Recent game faves of ours include:-

Peach Snaps
Avocado Smash
Rhino Hero

Rummikubs

Sushi Go - card drafting game, very cute and easy to learn

Meeple Circus - great fun dexterity game (there is a free app for the music/timing)

Exploding Kittens - funny card game

I can't stress this enough : ZOMBIE DICE.

Our entire household is obsessed with it.

We have absolutely loads of these portable games (stocking fillers for each child for the past 4+ years!) and the ones that always travel with us are:

Monopoly Deal
Yahtzee
Bananagrams
Dobble (more the kids than us)
Couple of Pack of cards

Also like Uno & Shut the Box. Younger kids sometimes take one of the many Top Trumps versions but DH & I cant bare it probably because they always go on so bloody long!

Really not keen on Exploding Kittens, Sushi Go has been donated to school fete, Cluedo Deal (or whatever the boxed card game version is called) is rubbish with the most pitiful instructions.

HTH

Uno, the Game of Life, Looping Louie, Bananagrams, Sumo Slam (bit like pass the pigs).

Werewolf. Have played this everywhere!

Our favourites:
Monopoly Deal (I hate monopoly but life rbis)
UNO
Pass the pigs

Definitely UNO, had such fun playing it last year on holiday.

Dobble, Uno, bananagrams or Latice

Board game wise - Articulate, don't panic, split second, think words

Ours still play Game of life for hours! (13 & 10)

Bonanza. Or as we call it, the bean game. Instructions make it sound complicated and kind of lame. But I assure you it is addictive and highly competitive.

Sorry - bohnanza

We take these escape games on holiday - you can only play them once. The mechanism is very clever, and they do present a challenge. You need to gather round a table with a bit of time to spare - small, but not portable.
