We usually have a jigsaw on board.

We used to carry a pack of cards but only used them occasionally.

These days its the ipads, but what games entertain you on the road, especially in the rain?

Crosswords, Cryptic especially. 

Sudoku.

I like the puzzle where you fill in letters having been given 2 or 3.

Scrabble. Crosswords ... although cross words can arise out of a game of scrabble!

Sequence, Upwords, Yahtzee.

Also we each have our laptop, I like role playing adventure games and hidden object games.

The "boss" likes hidden object games and puzzles, plus many, many crosswords. (i.e. on paper not verbal>biggrinbiggrin)

Wizard 101 - on line game - simpler and cheaper version of Warcraft and very family friendly. Play with my grandkids and a nephew in NZ. Been playing for 3 years now and still not bored with it:) Not so easy when free camping - have to run the gen for power - or just have shorter games. Solsuite - about 400 card games. Read - Kindle and thousands of books to get through. Bought a Ukelele - need to practice that!

Scrabble - if I can twist his arm to play, UNO sometimes, but usually our individual crossword books and my sudoku. Hubby prefers to read do a puzzle while I stitch or quilt. The old eyes might soon dictate what we do.

I love to read on my ipad, I also do art journalling and making cards etc, scrapbooking.  Hubby loves to read non fiction books or draw.  I love playing board games but playing with Ray causes arguments lol.

Anyway - where are all the musical nomads. We used to have wonderful parties in NZ with just someone on a guitar and everyone singing along!

Was it an old version or the new version? Read recently that 4 of the 8 things you move around the board have been changed. Too old fashioned or reminded of the old working days apparently!

Laptop when the missus isnt in the mood, cheap find the object games, cheap ball games.

Otherwise, when I can find a player, cribbage, Missus cannot understand it!

Canasta, Scrabble, Upwords, UNO, Yahtzee, Rummy Royale when we can find two other players who like a drink and are prepared to loose a couple of dollars.

Backgammon if I can find a player!

I wonder how hard it would be to organise a game of 500 and keep the 11,12 and 13's in the pack ????

 I have a Casino game that allows you to play for fun or play for real. I too have a lot of funny money in the bank.  I'll bet the odds change dramatically when you give them a credit card number

Cribbage is what I love, I comes from years of playing against Mum, sadly she is nolonger with us.

So now its cribbage on the tablet computer, along wit Gin Rummy, Hearts and Spider.

I am not an avid reader, however the last book I read was The Devils Guard it was about a group of SS soldiers at the end of WW2 who became legionnaires and went to Vietnam to fight against the Viet Minh.

We play "Trionimos" daily - triangular domino-like tiles. Up to 4 players, adult and kid suitable. We do have other board games and cards on board, but Trionimos can be played with brain in neutral - best strategy is to have none.
