Sort of like the thread on favorite tabletop board games. What are your favorite games that come in a small package or box and is great for travel or maybe to play in a tent while camping? My favorite are a series that I call “[tin box](http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/football-and-baseball-tin-box-games)” games. I have nearly the whole collection. The baseball one is really fun but they seem to be out of print. ---

My family enjoys Boggle. And also a deck of cards. ---

We’ve had a lot of fun toting around [Love Letter](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/129622/love-letter) as it is a small deck of cards and game play is fast- we can usually get a couple of rounds in between ordering and appetizers appearing. It is also quick for others to pick up and flexible for 3-6 people. We don’t keep score as such and just play each hand alone. ---

I second **Love Letter**. An excellent little game. I also like **No, Thanks**. ---

Oh. I was thinking electronic. And that’s this game called [Bridge **s**](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/bridges.html). Though I guess it could be done in print form. Nonograms would also work–but, again, I always play it in digital form. ---
