There are some tiny tin-box style games, often not very deep but maybe there is something out there worth traveling around with?

Railroad Ink is a roll-and-write game in a tiny box (or multiple tiny boxes of different colors) and scales well from just one to six players.

Fluxx and Saboteur (with expansion), some friends take BANG! but it gets bulky with expansions pretty fast.

Mint works has been on my wishlist for a long time. I do have Mint Delivery and also Mint Imperium but I do like worker placement games :)

This is somewhat hypothetical because I don’t travel that often so I haven’t actually traveled with all of these. But this is what I’d pack:

  • Next Station: London: great roll & write with a nice compact flap box. Works for solo.
  • Sea Salt & Paper: one of our current favorites, small box, easy to teach
  • Scout: ditto
  • Orchard: My small comfort solo
  • Some Buttonshy games. Maybe some Pack O Game ones too.

Easy to teach can be an important consideration in case you find some new people to play with.

I haven’t seen “Wizard” mentioned yet. It’s a staple among german outdoor tourists.

Also “Witches” which is somewhat similar. Both are great games!
