My Top 10 Favorite Travel-Friendly Games 

Port Royal is our most sure thing when traveling...

Hive Pocket is my favorite travel game 🤓 And all the tiny epic games 😎

We made plans last year to go to China, but we decided it might not be a good destination with the outbreak. So we started making reservations for Italy. You can guess how that turned out! Several cancellations later, we were buying board games to travel vicariously. This list comes at a perfect time, now that we might be able to actually go places again. The only one we have played is Sushi Go! which is a lot of fun, so your suggestions will come in handy. Thank you for always coming up with great content.

6 Nimmt and No Thanks work really well, even though they're on the lighter side.

Okay, I really need to look in to Shards of Infinity. Jamey manages to mention it on like, every top ten he's done since I subscribed.

Thanks for the list! We’re going on vacation this week and I have a lot of options to choose from in the collection, it’s it’s nice hearing your suggestions! Definitely time to start playing the crew! 😁

I think It's worth pointing out that Fantasy Realms has an app that does the scoring for you, and it works really well. And also, the cards fit nicely in a box from an old deck of Bicycle playing cards or something like that.

Hierarchy has a solo expansion where you play as an emissary that swaps out a few of the cards and has you try to play ALL the cards. Great picks all-around 👍

We have 4 from your list (The Crew, Cartographers, Sushi Go & Love Letter) & I agree completely that they are great when traveling. If my wife & I are traveling alone we like couples games like Hive, Targi, Catan Card Game... If we're going to be with family, we like Blockbuster, Just One, Happy Salmon & Codenames. Thanks for another great video!

I like the metal pencil boxes to take several small games in on trips. One of my favorite small box games is Dale of Merchants.

Great choices. I need to try a few of those, especially Dragonholt. Love Cartographers.

100% Agree on Legacy of Dragonholt. We brought it along on all our camping trips this year to play on the way to/from. Made the miles fly by.

Railroad Ink, High Society, and LLAMA are great choices for me

Returning from the inaugural Dice Tower Cruise, we broke out Pandemic: The Cure while waiting for our meal at an airport restaurant. All the components fit in the dice bag, and all those dice definitely grabbed the attention of others. One I don't own yet, but hope to soon so I can take it when I travel for work is Palm Island.

Great video Mr. Stegmaier! A few that came to mind would be: Welcome To Point Salad Kingdomino Duel Hanabi Ascension: Apprentice Edition Santorini These are all games I've brought with me and played at a restaurant or at a fast food table with someone I was meeting up with. I also did this once each with Azul: Summer Pavillion, and Isle of Skye, but I'd recommend those less so. I've also traveled with several of the games you mentioned, such as Cartographers, Sushi Go, Fantasy Realms and Love Letter. Love Letter is always the first that comes to mind for me.

Scout is a perfect travel game, excellent at any player number, from 2 to 5

Completely agree about Legacy of Dragonholt being the perfect car while driving on a long roadtrip.

Here's my favorite travel games: 1) Hive Pocket + exp. - Because it's an indestructible game that can be played on any surface, rock on top of a mountain, sand on the beach, grass in the park, and obviously a table. 2) Skulls of Sedlec + exp. - The latest Button Shy game that get the edge currently because of it's extended player range from 1 to 4 with the mini-expansions that also fit in the wallet. But the it take a bit of table space to play. 3) Sprawlopolis + exp. - Still my favorite Button Shy game, that is really awesome and that can be played solo and the 2-player coop is also good with a personal tweak to it. I'm really eager to check out the newest expansion Interstate that add 2-player competitive game mode but also new rules to the 2-player coop. 4) The Crew - For most of the reason you already said, but it also take a fair amount of table space too though. 5) Fairy Tale - This would be my pick for my travel-friendly drafting game of choice.

Very interesting video! Thanks to the author. I will wait for new works on your channel!

These games are perfect for what I’m looking for! Thank you for making this video.

I love a lot of these games. Here is my top 5 (that you haven't already mentioned) 1. Hokkaido 2. Mystery of the Temples 3. Microbrewers (previously Brewcrafters the Card Game) 4. La Granja: No Siesta 5. Railroad Ink

Crazy to see a video with 200+ likes and no dislikes.

I had a great time on a 5-hour flight playing The Castles of Burgundy: The Dice Game. It only has 4 dice and the box top made a good tray. I was able to solo it comfortably in the middle seat using the tiny food tray. (I put some paper in the dice tray to avoid making much noise.) It's a great solo game, but it's a roll and write where everyone uses the same dice, so you can easily expand it to more. I could imagine 3 people in an airline row playing it easily. There was only one scary moment where I rolled and missed the box and had to fish around for a wayward die at my feet. :) I know you're not a solo gamer, but my travel list would definitely have "soloable" as a key factor.

Fantasy Realms has a scoring app which is really handy! Loving this list tho, I have Batman version of Love Letter but its a great pocket game. I missed Fantasy Realms; I had it, sold it and now I'd like to get it back 😪

Lost cities has been great :) Id love a list of travel games than can be played on the beach or near the pool where there might be windy.

Just saw this video, what a great list of suggestions! I normally travel with... * Sushi Go Party: even though it does come with a bigger box the amount of variety it adds is huge, and since it's a tin box you just throw it in your bag and you know the components will be ok anyway XD *Wh40k: Space Hulk: Death Angel: The Card Game longest name ever... fitting for a Wh40k where everything needs to be epic XD This game comes in a VERY small box but it's really fun and plays really well. It has a lot of depth for such a small game. It is a great solo but also goes up to 6 players, though i would not recommend it with more than 4 since it has player elimination. *Timeline Simple, fast and requires almost no table space.

We travel light so for two players I like Tides of Time, Twilight Squabble and Sprawlopolis (coop puzzle). Allowing for a few more people our new fav is Silver&Gold, replacing Catan Dice but with only a set of six dice and my phone for scoring (I made a score sheet in google sheets) we will have Farkle. Then we’ve got Don’t Mess With Cthulhu for 4+ players hidden identity. If I know we’ll have space to set up then Tiny Epic Quest or Citadels is on deck as well.

My favorite game are Biblios and point salad. J have the crew in my shelf of shame. Great content as always

We're going to travel this year with Fantasy Realms, Hierarchy and Air, Land and Sea. Maybe we'll find some space for Tussie Mussie too :)

I have Scythe and all expansions in a silver suitcase, didn't buy the legendary box. I think this is travel friendly enough

I have a bunch of these. I'm surprised you didn't mention Hanamikoji. It's mostly cards except for the favor tokens (which may be why it didn't make the list).

Me and my girlfriend brought The Mind when we visited Chicago and played it in the airport!

Great list Jamey…please make a crunchy Viticulture Roll and Write

A very good game that travels well is BANG!, although a bit hard to find nowadays. The most recent edition is encased in a massive bullet shaped box that I would just not take on my trip and replace by a smaller card box. Very fun and fast. But minimum of 4 players unfortunately...

Mandala is our go-to for travelling with

Cartographers representing Brazil 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁

jealous of that hobbit love letter!

Jamey, did you play Spyfall? I played it on the train for the first time. After that I bought it myself. You don't need a table at all.

Bruxelles 1897. Fits always in a travel bag.

Just bought an electric car, and I was looking for games to play while charging on the road. Thanks!

I think The game is better for travel than the mind. L.A.M.A maybe is another good game for travel. Dirty pigs, Hoarders, Zeus on the Loose, Cabooses in the corner., Qwinto. But the best travel game that I think will be always a success is the card game 5211 and the new azul version is more beautiful.

I suggest u to play MINT WORKS, CITADELS , TIDES OF TIME (2p) and INSIDER (4p+)

If you are traveling alone, what would you take?

A deck of cards and the book the rules according to hoyle

Jaipur

Surprised there’s no Shipwreck Arcana! It and The Crew are two of my favorite travelers (actually currently traveling with them).
