While there are a billion pieces to it, I really like the travel version of Scrabble as well. It’s fairly compact, and set up so the tiles can’t move around. Great game for killing hours on a plane.

There are a surprising number of games you can “make portable”. If you take a standard Settlers of Catan game out of the box, you could make all the pieces fit into a much smaller container. Odin’s Ravens, Lost Cities, even Dungeon Twister. While not all of these are necessarily “light” games, longer holdovers usually have you looking for longer and more engaging diversions.

Regardless of the game, I just like them to have a bit of nail bitting action. I don’t mind the stompings from time to time (the give and take of said stompings) but nothing beats a close game that finishes well.
