I remember being astounded when Sander handed us a game just before our trip to Indonesia. He treasures his games and the idea of traveling with one of his prized possessions really scared me. What if I accidently damaged it? Or worse… What if I lost something? Sander however was cool as a cucumber and insisted that board games make amazing travel partners. That was the start of a new phase. A phase where travel always meant carrying a pocket sized game.

Here are a few board games that we tried out and really enjoyed. These are the ones that can fit into a traveler’s supplies easily.

Note that we have scoured for board games for Travellers in so many different countries. One big realization is that they are the cheapest in the USA. Hence, we’ve included links to the respective games on the US Amazon site. We did also have a good experience at Meeples Café in Malaysia which had a great collection and really reasonable prices.
