The missus and I take along a box of games when we go camping so if it's raining or we're looking for something to do while having a few drinks at night we usually have a game of something.
Our favourites games we play would be Yahtze, Uno, Euchre and Gin Rummy, these games are good because we don't have all that much spare room so we take small things like decks of cards, dice & score pad etc.
Anyway just wondering what games other campers get into, we are looking for other games that don't take up too much room to add to our games box or suggestions of other card games to play.
We also have just purchased a laptop so I guess any suggestions for games that we can both play at the same time on the laptop would be good too.
-
Uno or Chess
-
Cards & the lap top that has several "logical" games on it - software was bought for less then $20.
Mark
-
Rush Hour, a small board game where you have to unlock a pre organised traffic jam of cars and trucks on the game board. But it's a one person game.
-
Chess for sure, I have a small magnetic travel set (board is about 200mm square) that has lasted about 20 years.
All the card games - 500, crib, poker, canasta, etc....
-
pack of card, poker set, boulder dash - gets better the more you drink, uno, and some stacking block game that i cant think of the name now.
-
:cheers: games?!?!
-
We usually have a boche set packed as well as a badmington set tucked away in the camper, these normally fill in the afternoon if there is no swimming available. And once night falls, the kids do a bit of spotlighting or hang out of a tree or two or if all else fails to keep them amused, are allowed to use their electronic games DS's etc.(only allowed during the night, not during the day), while the adults sit around the fire and talk future and past camping destinations.
-
Karen, there's always a bottle around to spin.....
-
We take Yahtzee and a game called Lie Dice played with 5 die with 10 through ace on each face. Lots of fun after a few coldies..!
-
Karen, there's always a bottle around to spin.....
Ha, ha, ha, good one! I think I'm about 20 years too old for that game!
-
Cards, Spicks and Specks board game, and a couple of books
GG
-
On the recent high country trip Broady brought a full sized version of Yenga (sp). Stands about 3 feet tall at the start. :o
-
Bouce, a deck of cards, Uno and of late scabble has become popular.
Like Gunna our daughter takes her DS for inclement weather, although mum has become a fan of the Brain games.
Craig

On the recent high country trip Broady brought a full sized version of Yenga (sp). Stands about 3 feet tall at the start. :o
We cart that all over the countryside also. It's spelt Jenga. Keeps the kids amused just building with the blocks, it's a mongrel to pack away though.
Karen
-
ahh yes, thats the name of the game we take that i couldnt remember.... i get better the more i drink, or maybe i just think i do?
-
Thanks everyone for your replies, some good ideas there.
-
Uno is also a favourite of ours!! We also have a travel size Connect 4 which is good. Oh and Totum (spelling?) tennis, This is always a great way to spend an avo relaxing. Kids love it alomost as much as the adults ;D And you can pick it up for only $20!!
Rich
-
Plenty of different card games (uno, Five Crowns, Fluxx (i love this one), Canasta 5) plus we throw in the occaisional board game (Articulate for example).
DS's for the kids when it's raining or as a change.
-
We have some card games as per everybody, but also take dominoes. They don't blow away when it's windy!! Also have a couple of tennis rackets to have a hit. Or in my case a miss. ???

Does not work well on dodgy camp tables though!! ;D
We take whatever we can think of at the time - even full size board games. Never had a problem with storage really. I think that'll change as the kids get older.

Trivial Pursuit (or just keep your xxxx stubbie lids. Clay target thrower & 12G shotgun also provides hours of fun for the whole family - oh well, for me anyway.
-
I picked up (or was given) a pub trivia book that is a bit of fun with a few beers :cheers:
We also have cards in the car and uno is always fun for everyone! I also found a Monopoly card game at Kmart, only had one game so far but it seemed pretty easy and it doesn't take as long to win!!
-
We got a game for christmas called sequence. It uses cards and its fun, easy to play and does not take all night.
I am not a big game player however, but the Trish and Sabrina play all sorts of card games and marjon (spelling).... I am usually a little tired by the time the games come out... :D
-
Monopoly Deal
A card game based on monopoly but only takes 5 to 20 minutes for an entire game.
-
We just bought one of these electronic Trivial Pursuit units:
(http://www.giftmonger.com/acatalog/trivial-electronic-unit.jpg)
The beauty of these is the amount of questions you can store, I hooked it up to the net and downloaded all the categories that my wife and I would have any chance in answering.
You can then allocate the different categories to the pie buttons.
The Monopoly game looks interesting I think that might be a purchase.
(http://www.entertainmentearth.com/images/%5CAUTOIMAGES%5CHG01723lg.jpg)
Has anyone played Scrabble cards or Scrabble Slam?
-
The Monopoly card game is a hoot!
Also Sequence, Normal cards,
But where can you buy those 3 Foot Jenga? That'd be pretty cool!
cheers
Rossow.
-
But where can you buy those 3 Foot Jenga? That'd be pretty cool!
Good for back up fire wood when desperate as well

Gold! ;D
+1 for a set of Dominoes...there's heaps of different games to be played with a set of these and you can have a few play at once.
You could also do lots of the old fun games like "Celebrity Heads" if you've got a crowd of people, all you need is a piece of paper for them to hold above their head as they try to guess who they are! Also an old fave is a game we used to play based on Pictonary. We'd have several teams of people, a list of words and one person from each team had to draw the word for their team to guess. First team finished won of course! Simple but fun...
-
All these games sound interesting, however does anyone know of a good site that explains the rules to the various cards games that have been mentioned.
-
I think it may have been mentioned previous but Broady made a giant set of Jenga and took it to the high country, The kids loved it then later all the pissed parents had a go. While i didn't it was still good entertainment watching. There may be some pics on our trip if not get on to Broady.
By the way. Jules it the Jenga master...

I just read back
Snow had already mentioned it :-[

Rules for card games: Start with these sites
http://www.pagat.com/alpha.html
http://thehouseofcards.com/cardgamerules.html
http://cardgamerules.homestead.com/
http://www.webterrace.com/cards/home.htm
I typed "rules for card games" in google search and these are 4 of 64,600,000 hits. Keep searching you might find other games we haven't heard of.
There's also books - Hoyles rules of Games is one that comes to mind. We've got one or two around the house somewhere, handy to have with you when you haven't got the internet out at the camp site and someone wants to argue the finer points of rules.
-
Used to play a bit of Jenga at parties when I was a bit younger....the loser of each game had to scull a middy of port.....you certainly didn't want to lose three times in a row !!! ;D
Best game for any kid is one that entails LOTS of activity.......that way they sleep like a log, and you can enjoy more time around the campfire !!
-
swaggers
the most popular game i have yet discovered as yet is engelfloor .
what you do is stuff as many cans into the engle as possible then take terns going to it retreving a coldie or 2 till someboby can no longer stand .
this is great fun betting on who will pull on the wobbly boots first .
:cheers:

hangman on the back of a beer box, that way when all sides of the carboard are exhausted you can convince the mrs its a good idea to get another slab ;)

We have just bought a card game called billionair. It is not really a kids game but adults will get heaps of pleasure out of it. It is fairly high paced so you need to keep your wit's about you. We also have full sized monopoly. We have been playing the same game for about 4 weeks now (sunday night) we made up a spread sheet and printed it off. it just shows what each player has at the end of the night and where they were on the game board. It adds about 5 minutes to the playing time each night.
Good tip if you need to upgrade monopoly keep the tray that holds all the money. The new version does not have it.
-
Our favourite camping game is called "Articulate". This is similar to Pictionary, but instead of drawing the object, one has to describe it without saying the name. There are several categories (person, place, object, science/nature etc).
Always a good challenge.
-
We just got back from three weeks holiday and I'm so glad we bought monopoly cards, we played it every night.
The missus dominated on the first night and she became quite the bragger giving me heaps about it, telling me my strategy was flawed.
I turned the tables on her though and won every other night of the trip except one and in doing so gave her back some good sledging about her strategy.
My wife took the game really seriously and became so pissed off with losing there were some serious tension in our relationship. ;D

We like Pass the Pig. It's a bit silly but good fun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_the_Pigs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_the_Pigs), and it is small (about the size of a pack of cards).
-
Rush Hour, a small board game where you have to unlock a pre organised traffic jam of cars and trucks on the game board. But it's a one person game.
X1!

Cribbage Board and box of matches. 'Crib' is the greatest card game ever for camping - can be left part complete and returned to later - which is why it was so popular in the armed forces through 2 world wars.
We were taught by dad when we were kids. Also good for young kids counting skills.
-
What about ~Chess ~Backgammon ~Checkers
-
Hi,
we have a miniature version of the game of Boules (http://www.yardgames.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=128) that can be a bit o fun, only need a bit of flat ground.
The steel balls in the set we have are not much larger than golf balls.
My parents used to play crib every evening when away in the van, but I never took to card games, in spite of 6 years in the RAAF where it seemed every body played.
cheers
-
When we had the boys uno was the favourite game. Now it's just the 2 of us, we tend to read a lot.

Always have a pack of cards in the 4wd along with a dice and a couple of sets of darts. If we are going to have families with us we have 6 x badminton rackets and a net so we throw that in. When it is just the two of us we take our Laptop and a couple of movies so we sit back, relax and watch a movie together which we rarely have time to do at home. It is amazing what you can do with a set of dice and a pack of cards though.
-
Games when camping eh? OK, I'll keep this clean - not much option
'cause I usually go bush on my own these days :)
People! I'm astonished... there is only one game... Backgammon! :)
I use to play chess a fair bit but, these days, I prefer Backgammon,
it has much of the strategy of chess but the inclusion of dice means
the element of chance is introduced and a beginner may sometimes
beat an experienced player or, when the game is all but lost, a
couple of lucky throws can turn the whole thing around - much like
life really :)
Mike Harding
-
That works for me
-
Boss and I used to love a good game of backgammon, but the tin lids came along and now its uno, connect 4 or a game I really love called "how quickly can we drive our parents to drink!!!!!!!!!!"
Always a good thing to take with kids of any age is a soccerball, frisbee and some rope.
These 3 things provide hours of entertainment for kids of all ages.
Adult games...........well thats a different story.
Butterscotch schnapps, shot glasses and panadol.
-
we have a travel monopoly set that permanently lives in the camper, as well as a set of cards...we also have uno and skipbo, which the kids love to play, rumykins (i think that is what it is called) the kids like this and adults can play as well.....the DS also come along but like the majority they only come out of a night (not much of a chance to recharge if they run out)....and then we let the kids decide what other outdoor games come along,,,it is generally the firsbee and some sort of ball......but these are all for the kids...generally all Bullfrog and i do is watch the bush TV...... :laugh:

I've got pass the pigs somewhere- my grandma bought it for me when I was about 10; although it may be in my dads loft (in England) so it might have to wait. I have got a set of snooker dice of a similar vintage tho
-
Just back from Menindee and celebraty heads was a hit for the kids....they struggled with an "iconic bush hero" though, played by both male and female actors,fury, answered to a "gum leaf" call.
Also another one that got the nod was a memory game, goes something like;
....." whilst camping at Turlee Station I saw......(or where/what ever........goes around the circle) " a black bird" (next person says...)
....." whilst camping at Turlee Station I saw...a black bird and a campertrailer.(next person says...)
....." whilst camping at Turlee Station I saw...a black bird a campertrailer and a can of VB. (next person says...)
....." whilst camping at Turlee Station I saw...a black bird a campertrailer a can of VB and a pair of stillettos. (next person says...)
Goes on and on until you kill someone....;0)...no just joking....until its bed time kiddies!

You've been talking to my dad haven't you? He always wanted us to play all those games, preferrably at the same time and for very long periods of time.

Hey Jetcrew! I know that game I've been playing it with my kids since they were little. They're 19 and 17 now and still haven't learnt the rules! ::)
-
There is a game I use to play years, called "Uckers" and another called "Asshole", I use to play this when I was a "Birdie" at "Tross", during "SCRAN" and out of habit, kept playing it when I paid off.
Dont you just love navy lingo.
Uckers (game) ?
Asshole (game)?
Birdie ?
SCRAN ?
I bet there is a few people on this site who know what they mean.... : )

My family loves PHASE10. it is a rummy style card game. My wife and 10 year old often play at home, and we are currently teaching the 6 yo how to play. We have also pulled rummikub out of the cupboard, and I hope to teach the family that. Apart from those two, there the usual card games like snap memory etc etc and scrabble,chess, backgammon, monopoly, spicks and specks. We are a games loving family. So we have plenty!
Cheers Chippy :D
-
Here are some of our favorites that get a run (after the kids are snugged up in their fartbags)...
Sequence (easy game to introduce to newbies). Played in teams (usually men vs women) and lasts about 5 mins per game.
Rummicube (bit harder to grasp initially, and best played before the alcohol kicks in) Anywhere from 5 to 30 mins per game.
And finally, one definite game always played...
Farkle (best played after the alcohol does it's stuff). Very simple game using only 5 dice.

In my younger years when camped on the banks of the Murray we used to play 'night soccer'.
You take a new toilet roll, wrap it with gaffa tape leaving the ends exposed then soak in whatever volatile liquid you fancy. Upon nightfall you light it then attempt to play soccer. There are no goals and the game usually ends when somebody tries to head-butt the 'ball' or it's kicked into a tent and it burns to the ground. The trick was to wear natural fibres.
The things we do when we're young ;D
-
I remember "fire soccer" as we used to call it. I recall it being abandoned after we set fire to a campsite on the Brisbane river, after using shellite to light up the "ball". PMSL
Ahh the silly things we do as kids!
Cheers Chippy :D

Another vote for Pass the Pigs from me. Classic game
Best cheap entertainment for kids we've found is;
-Cards (snap, go fish, even 500 etc)
-Bubble mix.
-air-powered foam rocket with a footpad that the kids stomp on & sends the rocket into the air. Often find them in junk shops for very cheap.
-Rocket balloons - bit of a pain finding all the pieces afterwards though.
Tip to avoid excess DS playing - only take 1x12v charger between 3 DS's

Picked up a packet of big foam dominoes from Woolies today for 5 bucks. They're going in the camper.
-
Only for when the surf isnt up, its raining, the fire won't light and theres absolutely nothing else to do ...
Vote one - Pass the pigs
Vote two - Yahtzee (just get 5 dice and download the score card from the www and then run it through the p'copier)
Vote three - Yikerz
Vote four - scrabble cards

My wife passes the time camping by playing "mind games"
The rules are quite simple:
1. If your a male your always wrong
2. Males are expected to be mind readers
3. If by some fluke chance you think you may be right please refer back to game rule No 1.
4. When in doubt even if your not sure what your done wrong, just apoligies.

We usually take the Boche set, UNO, football, cricket set and the lap top has games on it.

I take different brands of beer --if you want a different game then drink a different beer, works for me!!!!!!

Hi Group
I have one of those "tickle me speewa" dolls, I bought it keeps the kids amused for hours, and was hoping it would be alot more fun than the "tickle me elmo" dolls.
Few issues with these dolls those and a warning for us all :
The "tickle me speewa" doll makes my 2 year old child cry, and tremble in fear.
It was left outside once and the neighbours dog was caught humping it, emotionally scarred the neighbours had to put the dog down, and the RSPCA said that decision was an act of kindness and mercy for the dog.
The doll was taken to the rubbish tip, and tip staff threatened me with legal action in the Land and Environment Court if I tried to the dump it.
I tried to get rid of it online, and had enquiries from Alcaeda on ebay, so see if they could purchase it for acts of terrorism.
emotionally scarred by the whole experience
Gonewalkabouts
P.S. Why does everybody pick on Speewa, or is just me (Speewaphobia)

There are 2 games i play when camping (with the mrs) and that is :

We haven't taken games camping for ages - we've usually been too busy doing nothing! Time to change that!
But years ago, Mrs Yoda spent a week on Fraser Is with a tropical depression (the weather, not the company!) and we played Pictionary for hours, it was a hoot!
I'm a bit how ya going with Scrabble, but love a variation called Take Two. You don't need the board, just the tiles, and it's a game of speed. Players take 7 letters, then you make your own words with the letters, the aim being to get rid of your letters first, and make everyone, including yourself, take two tiles. You can redo the words you make at any time. You just need a biggish table! Always good to make people take two when they've just mucked up their own scrabble board and need to race to make new words!
Boggle is good too, if you like word games. Just about to do an eBay search on Pass the Pigs, I remember that one from years ago!
-
We take along UNO but another favourite is Connect 4....... :-[

Hi All
We take Scrabble, cards, dominoes, and if the weather is good, there is always badminton in the camper. There are always books to be read as well. We find it hard to find the time for games, so the only time they come out is in the event of bad weather, or very cold. Michael
-
We recently picked up a game called Greed, which is a dice game with reasonably complex rules but its really good.
Its either Greed, Yahtzee, Uno or poker depending on how many people we have.
On a recent trip I taught my 4 nephews how to play poker and Yahtzee...I think they were a little miffed that there was no soundtrack or animations, but in the end they really liked the idea of an analogue gaming experience.
There is one game (which we have 3 variations of) that really tests the limits of marriage called Blokus, you have fixed shape tiles (thing tetris) that need to fit on a grid board. We have the small version, the full version and the triangle version, and it seems that males just plain suck at the strategy side of this game. I think I have only beaten my wife twice out of about 50 games, and its a similar trend with my in-laws and sisters etc.
The duo version is good to keep in the CT, and it makes the missus happy to win something all the time ;)
-
Hi All,
We take 2 pack of cards, UNO, Dominos, and my sister gave me an electronic version of pictionary 2 yrs ago for christmas, and lots of books and magazines (usually 4wd & camping ones). We also have 2 dogs so they take up plenty of time swimming.
We also have 2 player Checkers on our phone for snuggling up in bed.
-
1. scrabble
2. Perudo
3. uno
4. scattergories
5. petanc
-
Always a deck of cards, For the kids inflatable ball, or golf clubs with tennis balls for 9 holes.
-
Monopoly Deal, Cards, uno and a vortex for throwing around.
-
UNO, Phase 10, or if im lucky hide the sausage ;D
-
Sequence is a good board game, and always a football for the kids
Steve
-
I'm surprised how many UNO players there are, I thought we were the only ones! Scrabble is also one we don't leave home without.
-
We take UNO Attack, Scabble, Cards and a timber box called 7 in 1 compendium games in a timber box.
It has Checkers, Chess, Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Tic Tac Toe.
The kids love it.
-
if hide the sausage wasn't packed ;D Trouble is always fun.
Pressing the die popper in a quiet campground "click clack" is always a worry though
-
Monopoly now has a card game version. It's our favourite at the moment. I don't like the board game because it drags on so long and Scott is too competitive. He's still competitive but the card game is faster so we don't have to put up with him for so long ;D
:cheers: Glenyse
-
If you have 2 couples Asshole is always fun. There are a few variations but this one is fairly close to what we play http://www.pagat.com/climbing/asshole.html (http://www.pagat.com/climbing/asshole.html)

Our Ukkers board comes camping with us every time. The game originated somewhere on Navy submarines and amongst our group has a reputation as "the shouting game". Loads of fun and can be played by 2, 3 or 4 people. We made our own custom-designed Ukkers board using photos from our camping and windsurfing trips all around the country. Every time we play, we can look back at the photos and remember all the great trips.
Will try and find a better pic of the full game.

I have one of those "tickle me speewa" dolls, I bought it keeps the kids amused for hours, and was hoping it would be alot more fun than the "tickle me elmo" dolls.
Few issues with these dolls those and a warning for us all :
The "tickle me speewa" doll makes my 2 year old child cry, and tremble in fear.
It was left outside once and the neighbours dog was caught humping it, emotionally scarred the neighbours had to put the dog down, and the RSPCA said that decision was an act of kindness and mercy for the dog.
The doll was taken to the rubbish tip, and tip staff threatened me with legal action in the Land and Environment Court if I tried to the dump it.
I tried to get rid of it online, and had enquiries from Alcaeda on ebay, so see if they could purchase it for acts of terrorism.
emotionally scarred by the whole experience

P.S. Why does everybody pick on Speewa, or is just me (Speewaphobia)

Someone else has included it but we find Pictionary good. The 8 yr old granddaughter can join in.

We took scrabble but never played it.
Rummy is good, Fish is easier to understand for the youngest. Will have to read up on some more card games, don't play often enough really!
At home we've been playing monopoly lately. So just reading this thread for ideas! Oldest has just turned 9 and youngest is 7 so good age to get into more games!

Pass the pigs goes with me everywhere. My girlfriend thought I was crazy when I packed it into the backpacks to go through Europe. She loved it in the end!
