Holiday games for on the go and while traveling
A holiday is the perfect time to play a game together. No busy schedule, no rush, and finally time for a fun game night. In our collection of holiday games, you'll find compact board games and card games that you can easily take with you in the car, train, caravan, camper, or plane. This way, you'll always have something fun on hand, whether you're at a campsite, staying in a holiday home, or have a long journey ahead.
Holiday games are small in size, but often offer surprisingly a lot of fun. They take up little space in your suitcase, making them ideal for a weekend getaway, a sunny holiday, or a road trip. Many games are also quick to explain and have a short playing time, so you can easily pull them out during breaks.
Compact games for your holiday suitcase
Space in a holiday suitcase is limited. That's why you'll want to bring games that are not too big or too heavy. Small card games, dice games, and compact board games are an excellent choice for this. They fit easily between clothes and can often even be taken in your hand luggage or backpack.
A good travel game usually has simple rules, few loose parts, and a short setup time. This way, you don't have to spend half an hour setting up the game first. Just shuffle the cards or grab the dice, and you can start playing immediately.
Some games come in a small box, while other games can also be taken without their original packaging. For example, put the game components in a small bag or a compact storage box. This way, you'll have even more space for other holiday essentials.
Games for on the go
A long car ride, train journey, or flight can sometimes feel quite long. With fun games for on the go, time flies by. For example, choose a card game that you can play on a small table, a word game without many components, or a compact puzzle game for one player.
Are you traveling with children? Then simple search, guess, and card games are ideal. They provide distraction and make the journey a lot more enjoyable. When choosing games for the car, make sure you don't need too many loose parts. Games with cards, a magnetic game board, or parts that don't roll away easily are usually the most convenient.
Solo games are also great for on the go. They allow you to entertain yourself while your fellow travelers sleep, read, or enjoy the view.
Holiday games for the whole family
During the holidays, you often have more time to do something together. A family game for your holiday is therefore a nice addition to your luggage. Choose an accessible game that both children and adults will enjoy. Games with simple rules, short rounds, and enough variety are often suitable for the whole family.
For families with young children, observation games, memory games, and simple card games are a good choice. With older children, you can also bring tactical games, puzzle games, and fast competitive games. This way, there's a suitable holiday game for every age and travel group.
A game is also a fun activity for moments when the weather isn't cooperating. Is it raining at the campsite or is it too hot outside? Then just get a game out of the cupboard and turn it into a fun afternoon or evening indoors.
Fun games for two players
Are you going on holiday with your partner or a friend? Then check out our holiday games for two players. Many compact board games and card games are specifically designed for two players or work particularly well with two players.
You can choose a tactical duel where you try to outsmart each other, or a cooperative game where you tackle a challenge together. In addition, there are relaxing puzzle games that are perfect for a quiet evening on the balcony, terrace, or in front of the tent.
Games for two players are usually compact and quick to set up. This makes them ideal for a weekend getaway or a longer holiday for two.
Games for camping
At the campsite, there's often plenty of time for a game. During the day, you can play a quick card game at the camping table, and in the evening, you can bring out a more extensive board game. Preferably choose games that can withstand a bit of wind or that contain few small parts.
Card games can sometimes be awkward outdoors if it's windy. In that case, dice games, magnetic games, or games with sturdy tiles are a good choice. Of course, you can also bring a card game and play it in the awning, caravan, or holiday home.
Another advantage of camping games is that you can easily invite other holidaymakers to join in. An accessible party game or family game is a fun way to meet new people.
Which holiday game suits you?
The best holiday game depends on your travel companions and how you're going on holiday. When choosing, pay attention to:
- the size of the packaging;
- the number of players;
- the recommended age;
- the playing time;
- the amount of table space you need;
- the number of loose game components;
- the difficulty of the rules.
If you're flying, a small card game is often the most convenient choice. In a caravan or camper, you usually have a bit more space, and you can also bring a compact board game. For a holiday home, you can easily choose a slightly larger game, especially if you expect to play multiple evenings.
