Board/Card games for 2 or more people

[robinb]

Hi all! We are going on a 10-day cruise with a lot of sea days soon. I am looking for a game or two to help pass the time during the day. I’m looking for one that can be played by 2 people and maybe more. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Hand & Foot ( there are many variations of this)
Farkle
Mexican Train
Rummikub

I was going to recommend Hand and Foot as well.

Another one we play a lot is called Five Crowns.

Euchre is always a favorite of ours, but it generally requires four people, although I know there’s variations for three.

We tend to play a lot of games and I like to travel with small card ones. Our favorites are Skip Bo, uno, Yahtzee, phase 10, Slingz, Quirkle, and the card version of Scattergories

Our favorite board games are settlers of Catan, ticket to ride, Trival Pursuit, Disney Trivia and Blokus but they are larger and have more pieces.

Have a wonderful time on your cruise!

Family favorite, Shifting Stones. It’s 2-5 players or solo play which I haven’t tried yet. Quick to set up and easy to travel with, just take the two card decks and go.

Rack-O
Sorry

Candyland while geared toward very young is relaxing and sweet.

I second Rummikub and Five Crowns. They are the two games that were brought and played on trips during the past several years.

Hello Robinb,
Two card games that are worth playing are Phase-10 and Skip-Bo and Skip-Bo is my parents favorite card game and it's very simple to master and win. Phase-10 my grandmother introduced my parents to and it's also very simple to do all the 10 phases. In board games my mother used to play Chinese checkers and that's also a neat game you can try and very easy to set up
Hope these suggestions help you and have a great time

Five Crowns, Flip 7, Biscuits (or called B*tches-Glue Bunny games) Master Mind-there is a travel one.

Fluxx (card, 2+ players). Easy to get started, can be short games or long games, also super easy to add people in if you want (even if you have already started playing!).

Exploding Kittens (card, 2+ players) Basically russian roulette with cards.

Taco Cat Spelled Backwards (card/board, 2 players) It's not a spelling game (per the box. also can confirm, this is accurate.)

Tsuro (board, 2+ players) lay down tiles to make a path. Last man standing wins.

Sagrada (board, 1-4 players) dice placement strategy game

 

[Travel60]

Scrabble, Bananagrams, Uno (not sure 2 can play). Various trivia games.

Scrabble, Bananagrams, Uno (not sure 2 can play). Various trivia games.

2 can play Uno (it's my 7 year old's current "play on repeat") but it's not as much fun, that's for sure.

 

[firefly_ris]

Rummikub
Five Crowns
Phase 10
Uno (I like Original, Flip, and Spin but I don't think they make Spin anymore)
Skyjo
Flip 6 / Golf

Last Christmas at a relative's house we played some type of new trivia card game (can't recall the name) which reminded me of the old Trivial Pursuit. There were cards with categories of questions/answers that each person tried to guess. Can be played by 2 or more people.

Thanks everyone! I popped a bunch of these into my Amazon cruise list and I’ll pick a couple of them to take with me.

Did anyone mention Skull King? Trick taking, Card game with pirates, mermaids, kracken

 

[tjmw2727]

We enjoy many of the above, Uno, Rummikub, spoons and phase 10 are favorites.

You can also bring a couple decks of cards and play all sorts of games with them. We play 3-13, old school crazy 8s, snap, rummy, hearts, spades, 99 etc. Just look up some games/rules online and change it up if you get bored.

Likewise bring some dice and play Yahtzee (the app store has online scoring!) LCR, Farkle, Pig.

Have fun!
