On today's episode, I explore the relationship between travel and board games. I discuss how games can inspire travel, my criteria for finding the right games to pack, how to fit gaming into your itinerary, and ways that games can produce meaningful travel mementos and memories.

Listen to the episode where I was a guest on the Ordinary Sherpa Podcast here (Episode 034 | Games of Adventure): https://ordinarysherpa.com/034/

 

My criteria for games when packing:

• Size
• Ruggedness
• Complexity

 

My Favorite Games for Travel:

• Palace (Or a Deck of Cards, in general)
• Cribbage
• Dutch Blitz
• Deadball: Baseball w/ Dice
• Pass the Pigs

Thanks for listening!
