¿Question #1319?
djflippy: When you take a vacation, what games do you bring with you?

Hector Vortac: Many vacations are for game conventions so what evs. Most memorable was playing several games of Tichu, Can't Stop, and Roll Through the Ages while rolling down the highway to WBC. We have video to prove it.

Yeoster: Hive, for sure. That is the most fun and portable boardgame in my opinion.
Jatoha: I'm deciding this now. We usually take Pirates Cove because my family loves that game. We'll take Bang!, coloretto, probably ticket to ride. We are loving Winner's Circle these days, so I'll probably pack that, my daughter likes gulo gulo, so I'm sure we'll take that one. Oh, and Blue Moon, hive, Formula De. there will be more as well, I'm thinking about buying Red November just special for this vacation since we'll be close to where they filmed parts of Red October. My kids always get into playing games that fit with the area where we are visiting. We played Bang! an awful lot in Montana.
