I'm taking my nearly 5 year old daughter on a hiking camping trip over the Christmas holiday, and I'd love advice on games that are not too heavy or too much pack room.
Annoyingly so many websites don't list weights on items. I've bought a few games today that I think will be good in general for travel:
Pendleton backgammon (roll up)
Approx 30 cm x 30 cm open, and rolls up like a mini rug roll to 30 cm x 7.5 cm diam. (So not super-tiny but will fit in my concealed long pocket of my pack)
One website says it's 230 grams and another says it's 140 grams, so I'm unsure on the weight, and will update when it arrives and I've had a chance to weigh it:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Pendleton-Bac ... 1452172579
It's perhaps a little heavy but I think will be worth its weight in gold if it is bucketing down for a period with rain, to have something to do in our wee tent.
Mini chutes and ladders (travel size)
Says it is 15 cm x 15 cm and no idea of weight. Will weigh it once it's here.
Any other ideas for weight games? I thought I'd take mini glow stick bracelets and mini bubble blowing stick bottle with me also.
I know a lot of hikers take out a set of playing cards as they are reasonably light.
