Hand-held games are a great way to pass the time on a vacation, for you or your children. These are some of the best electronic hand-held board games available.

1. Electronic Hand-Held Boggle

I freely admit that I'm a sucker for Boggle, so being able to play it in a car, on a plane, or on a train without worrying about losing any of the dice is a great concept. For one player.

2. Electronic Hand-Held Monopoly

The classic real estate board game Monopoly in a hand-held form. For one player.

3. Electronic Catch Phrase

This one requires more than one player, but it's a great twist on a fun game. In Catch Phrase, you don't want to get caught holding the gozmo when the buzzer goes off -- so do whatever it takes to get someone on your team to say the right word!

4. Electronic Hand-Held Yahtzee

All the challenges of original Yahtzee in hand-held form. For one player.

5. Electronic Hand-Held Connect Four

With the one-player electronic version of Connect Four, you won't be able to say, "here, diagonally" or "pretty sneaky, sis" -- at least not without having people stare at you. For one player.
