I hope people play Don’t Get Got at my funeral.
Write in in your will! Let’s make this happen! But only after a natural death many many years from now.
Nice list. Could you do a similar list like "What to bring to a trip in a Camper" where you not only have to consider weight and storage size but also a possible smaller table size to play at. I would be very much interested in that, even though there might be a bit of an overlap.
For us right now it would be definitely Fantasy Realms. Also card game and small. I haven't been to Disney World yet but enjoyed Disneyland Paris a lot. We are great fans of amusement parks. We usually bring more and bigger games to travel since we rarely fly.
@@malvinafis6907 fantasy Realms is one I want to get soon - heard many many good things!
Great list! We usually include Love Letter, Coup, Arboretum, Fox in the Forest, and probably now Botanik and Fantasy Realms.
Also, we just booked our 12th trip to Disney! Cannot wait!
We love coup! Love letter we just played for the first time recently, and we need to play Fantasy Realms. It’s been recommended a bunch.
12 times!! Awesome - we hope to catch up ;)
@@FostertheMeeple If you try Fantasy Realms make sure to use the app to score! It's a lifesaver.
Loving the small upgrades to the channel :)
Haha we are doing what we can as money allows us to! Thanks for noticing!!
Skipbo, Quix, toss up, Trails
Silver and Gold (LOVE!!)
Explorers
Valley of The Kings
Spirits of the Wild
Nova Luna
I highly recommend Sea Salt and Paper! Absolutely amazing game!
Tiny epic galaxies is small, but there's a bunch of game in the box.
Jaipur, Hive, and Love Letter are some of our favorites for traveling with. Also you can't go wrong with the classic Phase 10! I bought the Catan dice game but haven't tried it yet.
Haha we used to play so much Phase 10!!
We just played lover letter for the first time the other night, Jamie didn’t love it but we played on BGA and I’m not sure she fully understood the rules. (We had 5 players so it was a bit too many for a first play I think.) We hope to get Hive soon! Great list of games!
Mom got me the dice game of catan. It feels more like yahtzee. But with a catan skin on it.
We are on a trip now and brought Stellar, Sushi Go!, Bananagrams, Hive Pocket, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Point Salad. Oh, and big Disney World fan.
We hope to get to go this winter!! Those are great travel games, thanks for sharing!!
Hah watching this bc my wife and I are going across country to hit up Disneyland and wanted some games for the airport and hotel room.
Jamie I am moving to the Orlando area and our house will be about 20 minutes from Disney World!
Ok Jeff my respect has grown for you!
We hope to get to Disney World this winter!! Planning has commenced. We are incredibly jealous of your proximity to the greatest place on earth ;)
Great video J&J. Targi, Kingdomino and Guildhall (greatly underappreciated game) are two of our favorite 2 player games for travel. Furthermore, the components for each of the games fits into an Ultra Pro Deck Box. So super portable.
We shockingly have yet to try Targi! But hope to soon. Kingdomino is such a great game!
Hello, mes amis canadiens ! Laure from Paris here. Thank you for entertaining me and delighting me with your videos. My travel game reco will be Hanabi. Packs a punch in a small package and great play at 4. Keep up the good work !
Bonjour Laure!
Merci! We have to pick up a copy of Hanabi I think, seems to be a love for most people! Thanks for watching, commenting, and the kind words!
I just got the geekon ultimate board game bag so gloomhaven can now be a travel game. You guys made me love this channel even more me and my wife go to Disney at least once a year and I have since i was a kid.
TRAVEL GLOOM! So crazy hahah, crazy amazing! We haven’t gone since before the pandemic. REALLY hoping to get to go in November!
@@FostertheMeeple Ive been using it for root and smaller games when we do lakehouse rentals. Soon it will be for townsfolk tussle i cant wait for that. Great video by the way lots of games ill have to look into.
Jaipur! Shards of Infinity! Shotten Totten!
Don’t hate us if we say we haven’t played any of these yet!
Just to add one that surprisingly hasn't been mentioned, Coloretto is pretty perfect for travelling.
But yes Skull, Fort, Oink Games are always great for us too.
Jamie considered Fort and I think if we were to do the list again she’d add it haha.
Coleretto we haven’t played - but it gets mentioned frequently on Board Game Barrage podcast!!
Never played Silver Bullet! Sounds like a blast. Thanks for a fun list!
Thanks JP! Definitely a big hit in our household.
Just got back from a trip with 6 people and 4 non gamers. We took the insert out of Trails of Tucana and added the components for For Sale (2 small decks and a few coins), No Thanks (cards and black bits) and a deck of cards. We had the chance to play each once and it work out well to fill in the down time.
I have also got Schotten Totten that would be good two person travel game.
My copy of 7 Wonders Duel, The Crew, and Deep Sea Adventure show up this week and they should travel well too.
Would love to go to Disney one day. Maybe in a couple years when my son is older.
Those are all great games to be anticipating!! I hope you get to experience WDW with your son someday, we love it there!
Great picks for travel! For a light multi-player game, I take Ohanami. It's a deck of cards and a small score pad. Perfect for playing on a plane. Seikatsu is great choice for outdoor poolside table play. It's a board and "Azul"-like tiles in a bag, so nothing will blow away. Another choice, if you want something heavier in strategy, is Bruxelles 1897. It is a solid mid-weight game in a really small box. And, Love Letter, because it can literally fit in a pocket.🌈
Thanks for this! We tried Love Letter recently on BGA and it wasn’t a “love” (see what I did there?) for her. Ohanami has been recommended a bunch so likely something we pick up and try at some point!
I’m actually packing for a trip as I type this. Here are a few that I like to take. I pick a few from this list:
King Domino, Diamonds, Skull, Monikers, The Mind, Strike (just take some dice and grab a bowl when you’re there) Liars Dice (use the dice from the strike game and that’s a 2 in 1 game), The Crew, Dead Man’s Draw (check out the free app to see how it plays but card game is great too.) Beyond Baker Street (I have some curved wooden card holders that I stick in my bag. It works great for this game) I sometimes grab a escape room in a box or a deckscape game. Some of those are great because you won’t even have to bring home because they are a one and done. Thanks for the other ideas! Love the channel!
Thanks for the list and watching!! Love that you travel with games also :)
Great list! Going to have to check some of these out. (Wrote down king domino, and 7 wonders specifically to look at)
My list would be Love letter, hero realms and campy creatures for my go to travel games. Recently got mini rogue which I’ve only played a few times, but would add that to the list as well.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Definitely going to check out campy creatures!!
Dale of merchants is an awesome one for traveling, think you guys would love it!
We’ve played it!! Very good game
Thank you for the video. My family is about to go on a long plane trip. I still don’t know what we’ll take but it has to have a small footprint.
Enjoy the trip!!!!
ButtonShy has a good number of two player micro games with meat (wallet games that would fit in a normal wallet, Jeff!). Revolver Noir, Circle the Wagon, Moving Pictures, and Skulls of Sedlec all great.
Also a personal fan of Keymaster’s Control 2ndEd.
“Micro game with meat” might be one of the best slogans I have ever heard!
Will have to take a look at these, thanks!
All great recommendations! Especially control 2nd edition very underrated
Huge Disney World fan, hard not to be. No longer make it there much as Disneyland is only a short drive from our house. Great list, have a family trip coming up and ready to play don’t get got. Others I would add for travel, jixia academy, point salad, hanabi, schotten Totten, Ohonami, and lost cities.
Definitely some on this list that are being repeated in the comments, we haven’t played a lot of them so we might need to change that!
Definitely agree with 7 Wonders Duel and Sushi Go. I've traveled with both of those multiple times. Some other good ones are point salad and any of the Tiny Epic Games (I personally only own Galaxies). Also a sneaky easy travel game is Dominion. Just select decks of cards beforehand and you can take it all in a gallon sized storage bag. Although I should point out that I got stopped at security once because it looked like an explosive device on their scanners.
Haha Jamie has gotten pulled. And one guy said “why do you have so many board games”. It was a funny moment
I would suggest No Thanks! If three or more are together and Spot It! for a quick game and takes very little room. I will have to check out Silver Bullet! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks!! We will for sure check in to these!
I'm a fan of playing games with the wife at breweries..something that can fit on a table top and won't interfere with beer drinking :). Jaipur is great, 7 wonders duel, Fox in the forest, The Crew...only bad thing is you have to have three to play this well. But it's suuuuch a great game!!
We didn’t mind the crew at 2. Not ideal obviously but I didn’t mind manipulating the third automa deck or whatever it was called. But yes for sure better at 3+
I like how Jamie matched her outfit with Azul
She said it was planned but I’m not sure I believe her haha
Love the list! For me it would depend on the length of the trip and the likelihood we will actually play games.
With that said, I will make two quick lists for the two options.
List 1 (time to play games)
Patchwork
Splendor (using components from other games as the chips)
Castles of Burgundy
Cartographers
Railroad Ink Challenge ( all games in Pandemic Legacy box)
List 2 (gaming questionable)
Cartographers
Castles of Burgundy: The Dice Game
Ganz Schon Clever (or any version, or all versions/laminated/and one set of dice)
Second Chance
Boomerang
Trails of Tucana
Wurfelland
Mosaix/Tetrix
Red7
Circle the Wagons (all games in one smallish box)
Also, half the games from List 2 would be in the box for List 1 as well.
My favourite is Biblios. my goodness it is so good. scales great from 2 to 4 players. its the same size as Innovation. it's fantastic. if you haven't tried it, i'd recommend you to go grab a copy. you will love it. you can also play on the plane easily. Cartografers is another one. great video. ah Draftosaurus is a great one too!
Biblios is such a great game!!
I got the Travel Zombicide from the Zombicide 2nd Edition campaign. It's a small version of Zombicide in its own self contained plastic folding board. Would sit on an airplane tray table and gives a complete Zombicide experience. It's very cool
Ultra Tiny Epic galaxies and kingdoms also work well as they are boxes the size of a deck of cards and don't take up much table space
Nice! I am going to check into these for sure! Thank you for the suggestions.
Great list, but the obvious omission is Jaipur. It's a great 2 player game, and it travels very well. Me and my wife played on a train on the way down to Disneyland.
Haven’t played Jaipur!! Might be why it’s not on the list haha. We hope to try it soon!
Nice video!
Have ya'll ever looked into wallet games? most that I know of are made by the company Button Shy.. they have solo, 2P, and 3+player games that consist of only 18 cards in a small wallet that you could literally carry 2-3 in your pockets. LOL
We have traveled with literally 10-12 in our carry on to play on planes when we were traveling in 2018 & 2019.
Honestly no, we haven’t! I haven’t heard of wallet games until this moment. *proceeds to uncover all things to do with wallet games*
@@FostertheMeeple Well... I apologize for opening a Pandora's box! LOL
I'd recommend trying out Tussie Mussie- designed by Elizabeth Hargrave. It is one of our favorite wallet games..
Another great video! A couple of fan questions. 1) Jeff what does your tattoo say? I have tattoos myself and understand they can be deeply personal so feel free to ignore.
2) My family is also huge Disney Park fans. What are both of your favorite rides/experiences per park? Magic Kingdom is Haunted Mansion for me. Epcot- Spaceship Earth is close but Living with the Land (sorry nerdy!) is my pick. Animal Kingdom is the Dinosaur extinction ride and Disney Studios is probably the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. I'm super interested to hear both of your favorites. Super jealous of a mashup trip with Tablenauts. I need Max on Dumbo . . . .
1) It is from LOTR - in Return of the King, when Pippin sings to Denethor. (It’s used differently in the books though). I have half the song wrapped around my forearm, signifying some personal journeys and growth I’ve been through in my life:
“Home is behind, the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight”
Favourite rides:
Magic Kingdom:
Jamie: Haunted Mansion
Jeff: Pirates of the Caribbean
Hollywood Studios:
Jamie: Tower of Terror
Jeff: Tower of Terror (but we like to compete on toy story mania
Epcot:
Jamie: Frozen ever After
Jeff: Soarin’
Animal Kingdom:
Jamie: Everest
Jeff: Flight of Passage
But really they all are awesome haha this wasn’t easy!
@@FostertheMeeple That is a badass quote. LOTR fans unite! My youngest daughter is named Arwen. Great picks for the Disney parks also.
@@robertmaine5016 “My friends…you bow to no one”
Cry…. Every. Dang. Time.
Definitely Hive Pocket 🐝🐞🦟🕷️🦗
We hope to get a copy soon!
Coup is very portable.
Onitama is nice. Charming and thinky.
Also word games generally, if you find one that is enjoyable at two players.
I'm gonna pick up Kingdomino for the plane because I travel a lot and am always looking at my phone! Give my eyes a little breaky-poo
Silver and Gold is a great small game that scales well for all player counts.
Cool! I’ll take a look in to it, thanks!
Codenames duet, Cartographers, and Warp’s Edge are my go to travel games. Usually throw Cockroach Poker in too 😁
I almost bought Cartographers recently but I went in a different direction, it likely will hit our shelf in the near future though!
Sounds like you went the wrong direction, hehe!
@@chrismcpherson666 I respect you for keeping me on the straight and narrow ;)
Great Recs! We’re about to head to Disneyland. When you guys went did you just pack these in your suitcase or a both carry on and suitcase ? Trying to figure out where I should put them ! Thanks !
We usually will put some in a carry on some in a checked bag. For card based games we will usually remove them from the box and just put them in a smaller deck box with a bunch of different card games fitting in one!
We'll be driving with three cats from Alberta to Ontario this fall, so planning my list of games to bring with our limited space, probably taking most out of the box and in bags.
Here's the list so far:
- 7 Wonders Duel w/ Pantheon
- Azul (good idea, just take the bag and two boards)
- Carcassonne (like Azul, can fit it all in the bag)
- Codenames Duet
- Watergate
- The Fox in the Forest
- Paperback
- Rival Networks
- Cat Lady
- Lost Cities
- MicroMacro
Ones I'm thinking of getting:
- Silver games (all of them!)
- Air, Land, & Sea
- Targi
We have the rest of the silver games coming soon, we are incredibly excited to get some content out about them!! Micro Macro is on my list, I’ve seen a lot of it lately and it reminds me of being a kid with Where’s Waldo books!!
Great list of games, and good luck on your travels! Getting closer to the best coast ;).
Dungeon mayhem, sushi go, Boss Monster, Azul! All great picks. We love Disney and have also been to WDW many times and are also super fans for the house of mouse.
Can’t WAIT to get back to WDW!!
@@FostertheMeeple we may be going in October!
@@boardsontables8924 we hope to go in November!!
Cool video! :)
Thank you!!
Great choices. By the way, your new setup looks fantastic.
Thanks! Progress is slow and steady haha
You could sell the idea of Azul to me if you could fit the other 9 games in the same box. Good luck!
On the #2 Pick, I'd almost always suggest the Sushi Go Party! edition. The different cards at 2p really tune the game to be enjoyable at 2 all the way to 7. And the box isn't much larger.
Also, I'd say Skull is really good, but that's a game for more than 3. If going with two couples, Skull is certainly on the list.
Star Realms is a deck box, so that's a fabulous pick too. A full deckbuilder in only a 100-card Boulder?! Done.
This is the like 20th Star Realms mention I’ve seen recently, I think I need to get a copy of it!!
@@FostertheMeeple It's a really streamlined deckbuilder. I'd try the app a few times (though it's one of those games where if you keep playing the app, you will become much better than your opponent).
I love Innovation also. Harbour is on my list. I would second Mini Rogue that was mentioned down below. Fleet the Dice Game or Lucidity are a must for a dice chucker. Age of Civilization is nice. I really like Gloom. Fuse is good if you have younger gamers or new gamers.
Thanks for the recos!
I appreciate the darkness 😄
The games that I have brought traveling:
Onitama
Pax Transhumanity
Targi
Hanimakoji
Railroad Ink
Sushi Go! Party
Race for the Galaxy
They're all really small (Pax Transhumanity is the heaviest smallest box I have seen other than BIOS: Genesis, which I have not brought traveling, but definitely would. They're both something like 13cm x 13cm x 6cm)
I always see race / roll for the galaxy, hear about it all the time but never actually buy it!
@@FostertheMeeple I highly recommend trying them! Race has a wonderful "advanced" two player mode (which isn't really advanced, just the best way to play the game in my opinion) and Roll is better with more than two, but I really love both...
I love the list! Even if people don't travel with these games they are good starter for collecting games, but what is a "big" box game that you guys wouldn't mind traveling with cause its that good?? For me I would be willing to do a road trip with quacks and deal with the size cause its just so perfect for that.
Good question! I think I’d have to say Dice Throne, 1) because we’ve brought it to Disney before 2) it’s a perfect two player game!
@@FostertheMeeple Ive never played it but season 2 looks really good!
@@JakeJackPot_ it’s basically battle Yahtzee - but it’s amazing.
@@FostertheMeeple You sold me!
Can you do a video on silver bullet please?
We have one!! It’s one of our very first videos
Don't Get Got - Funeral Edition
Coming Never!
Hahaha do not advise!
Bang the Dice Game, that's a great option, also Targi!!
Awesome! We haven’t played either of these yet!
San Juan (just take the cards out of the box)
Silver and Gold
Ohanami
Cartographers
Jaipur
Point Salad
Hive Carbon
I seen in another comment you were thinking of getting Hive. Buy the Carbon version, it is amazing looking.
Cool I’ll take a look at that version! Great list of games here :)
Just bought Silver Bullet based on this alone - the game has hardly any other reviews or ratings but what the heck!
Crazy!! We absolutely adore it haha
Morels is also a great 2-player travel game
Will have to check it out! Thanks
Oh man, my wife & I were hoping to go to WDW this fall, but it's likely been pushed into March. If I randomly got into a Splash Mountain boat with you and Max & Doolin I'd be like 🤯!
Hive Pocket is made to travel, and is a great 2-player game to play on your hotel balcony without the pieces blowing into the pool.
I was about to be surprised that Sushi Go didn't make the list; I'm glad Jamie From The Future picked up the slack. =Þ
P.S. I just picked up Silver Amulet for $8. I probably wouldn't have given it a second look if you weren't so passionate about Silver Bullet, but now I'm excited to try them both out! Bezier should cut you a commission check at this point. XD
Right?!? Come on Bezier!! Let us know what you think of them!
WDW family is good family! Love me some splash mountain!
Number 11 I dont think it would fit most travel plans scenarios to be honest.
Number 1 was no surprise for you guys hahaha.
My games I would take with me to travel would be: RailRoad Ink, Love Letter, Abyss: Conspiracy, Sprawlopolis.
those are the small fun games I own that I would take with me.
no, I am not a Disney fan. but I like cute games. :)
Number 11 definitely depends on the group and location, but we’ve heard many stories of this being a great game for groups to travel with, so felt we should add it!
Those are great travel games for sure! Great list!
I'd add Codenames, Cartographers, Organ Attack (definitely check this out - everyone I play this with loves it), and maybe Star Realms.
I've never had the desire to go to Disney until a friend read Be Our Guest and I learned about the vast attention to detail they have for immersion. Now I just want to see all of that.
Star Realms and Cartographers might be bought soon!
Honestly? Before I went to WDW I wasn’t overly excited. Then I arrived, and saw just what you state - the immersion, and attention to detail in every single facet of that park. And it was immediately a place I fell in love with. I hope you get to experience it some day, I think you’d feel the same as I did.
I live in Orlando. I have to be a fan of WDW.
We love it so much!
Please do 10 games you could play on a plane
This is a great idea!!! Stay tuned :)
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.......Patchwork is the best 2-player game, not 7 Wonders Duel. I just read that you passed on Cartographers again. I'm second guessing my vote for you the other day, 😂.
You might have to, patchwork doesn’t hit home for me! I had cartographers in my cart but I didn’t pull the trigger. I promise I will get it soon!
I love my Quiver for traveling. It holds: Wizard, Saboteur, For Sale, Bohnanza, Port Royal, Tichu, Team Play, Fox in the Forest, and Krass Kariert. (Maybe more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.) Great selection for lots of different numbers of people. It doesn’t take up much room in a suitcase, or I can throw it over my shoulder. And yes, I love Disney! Tower of Terror FTW!
Great list of games and awesome you have a solution for transport! Love it! Tower of Terror is so great, definitely one of our favourites!
Circle the Wagons, Biblios, Hanamikoji
Ahh I would like to try Biblios!! Haven’t played these games yet!
You should check out Hive!
We for sure are going to!!
Mandala the 2 player card game is amazing
Heard of this but haven’t tried it yet!
Probably one of the most played games I own. An essential. Easy mechanics. Crunchy plays
RIP Silver Bullet
Still a great game ;)
Any version of Fluxx, Just Desserts, and Loonacy. We love the games from Looney Labs. Also Jaipur, Dice Throne, Schotten Totten.
We haven’t played Jaipur or Schotten Totten yet but both have come recommended to us many times! Hoping soon!
games to play on a plane and half of them you cannot 👎👎
To each their own! To be fair this is a travel game list, not a list of games to play on a plane. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
