Then you may like to get a couple of small and easy to carry John Adams travel games to play with your children like these three games (Rummikub Travel, Othello Travel and Triominos Travel).

i-Top is the next generation pocket-sized electronic spinning top game that will appeal to both children and adults alike! This toy combines the classic spinning top look with modern twists! Not only can it be stored away neatly by placing the pin into the groove, it also comes with an electronic counter with hidden animations.

Cobra Paw is a straightforward snatching game that requires ninja-like reflexes, sharp recognition skills, and mental fortitude! It is suitable for aged five and above, and for two to six players. Inside this game, it comes with 21 clawfuku stones, 2 catnippon dice and instructions. The stones remind me of dominos and are beautifully carved and well made.
I first came to learn about Exploding Kittens earlier this year through entering a drawing competition on Twitter and won the third prize! I won a hairy potato cat stuffed toy! It was then that I took interest to find out about the Exploding Kittens game!
Quirky is a quirky quiz card game, from Cheatwell Games, where you decide the answers! This game will cause debate amongst your opponents with this controversial game where no answers are supplied. It is suitable for aged 10 and above, for three or more players.
Pass the Pigs is a classic dice game for multiple generations and these pigs are truly addictive! You will be snorting with laughter if you bring these favourite piggy pals on holidays with you this summer. The original party animals, Pass the Pigs, use hilarious pigs for dice. Will you roll a sider or start making bacon? On the road, by the beach, in the park, or just chilling out – the game is on for every pig in the parlour!
Perudo is a skilful game of guesswork, bluff and luck that is played with two or more players. This ancient game is based on the classic Peruvian game of Liar’s Dice. It is suitable for aged eight and above.
Dobble is a 5 in 1 family card game for two to eight players for aged six and above. This is a great game for travel and party as it can be fast and furious! Beware, it can get a little too heated!

During your trips, you and the rest of the adventurers will face threatening storms, lightning, Lockhars pirates, Damok-birds and many more challenges!
NumBugz is a great numbers travel game that can be played in a number of different ways wherever you are. This is the second game invented by the husband and wife team, Ian and Lisa from the original PLYT game. If you have not heard about PLYT game, then read my review of this addictive and challenging numeracy game.

Stoopido is a new gleeful, wacky and downright silly game of 1000 silly faces concept from Drumond Park. It is suitable for aged eight and above for two to four players.
