MalteseMama2 Posted September 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2019 DH & I want to play some type of game while on board. We have decided to bring a Backgammon board because while discussing this we remembered playing it in college. I’m curious as to what other people like to bring/play, especially 2 person games.

Rare h20skibum Posted September 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Wow, with that title, you may get some unexpected responses.😀 But seriously, the only thing we bring is cards if we are organizing a poker run. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awestover89 Posted September 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Depends on who we're traveling with. In the past we've brought Cards Against Humanity (better with more players), Superfight (requires at least 3 players), One Night Ultimate Werewolf (Needs at least 6 players I think), Spyfall (Needs several players), and Voluspa (2-4 players). The benefit of all of those games is they are easy to take as they don't involve many pieces. Superfight, Spyfall, CAH, and Werewolf all just have a few cards, and Voluspa has a small board and tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishLips23 Posted September 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2019 FYI, most of the ships have a few backgammon and chess tables in the library. We usually bring a few card games- San Juan and Machi Koro are two of our favorites and are easy to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mom says Posted September 29, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We always bring a deck of cards, and a little travel scrabble game. The board and tiles are magnetic, so we can play just about anywhere- even at the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bob Posted September 30, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 30, 2019 We bring a special redesigned game of Jokers and Marbles. The original game uses marbles. Since I think I am smarter than the average 6th grader I quickly figured out that chasing rolling marbles around the deck of a moving ship would waste a lot of my time. So, I made playing markers out of 1/2 inch bolts with the nut lock tighted onto the bolt. The painted them different colors. Works good.

Blondilu Posted September 30, 2019 #19 Share Posted September 30, 2019 We sometimes bring cards. Actually you can cards in the casino, at least on Princess. They are the ones that have been "retired" from casino tables. They usually cost $1 a deck and are still in pretty good shape. You can get games in the library so we don't bring them. We'll get Trivia and sometimes Scrabble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted October 1, 2019 #21 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have a couple of games loaded on my iPad to pass the time. One that always makes me smile is Sheeplauncher. I don't know if it works on current IOS versions, but my iPad isn't up to date, so it runs fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyMarvie Posted October 5, 2019 #22 Share Posted October 5, 2019 We're board game geeks and traveling with the family, so we'll almost certainly bring: * the travel version of Settlers of Catan * Cards against Humanity * Lord of the Fries/Gimme the Brain (kids fav) * A couple of decks of Munchkin I'm considering getting one of those progressive games of Pandemic, but I'm not sure we'll have enough time for it.

SteveH2508 Posted October 5, 2019 #24 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Cribbage - best card game for two (and good for three or four people as well). Dominos - many possible games (with aforementioned crib board - even more possibilities). Chess set. Poker dice - playing liar dice when one has indulged in the drinks package can be an absolute hoot! I have a fairly lightweight games compendium which always travels with us (also has backgammon but I do not know to play that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
