Hitting the road -- or the water, or the rails, or the air -- can be a trying experience. But if you're prepared with something to pass the time, your trip will seem much shorter. These board games are all designed to go along with you.
1. Scrabble Folio Edition
The classic word game is available in a deluxe travel edition, with a board that features recessed spaces to hold the letters in place and a cloth bag to carry the tiles.
2. Chess Travel Edition
A variety of Chess travel editions are available, some of which are very inexpensive. Some of the Chess travel editions also come with a travel version of Checkers, but separate Checkers travel games also are available.3. Backgammon Travel Edition
Because it mixes skill and luck quite nicely, Backgammon is a good game to have along on a trip; it appeals to players of various ages.4. Quoridor
Players compete to move their pawn from one side of the board to the other, but they can also erect fences to make their opponent's journey more difficult.5. Boggle Folio Edition
This is classic Boggle in a very travel-friendly package. It's one of my favorite games, at home or on the road.What Other Gamers Say
