On our trip Heather and I brought only one game, a card game called quiddler.

Each player gets dealt cards with letters and points on them (think Scrabble tiles, but sometimes the cards have multiple letters), and each player draws and throws out in an attempt to spell the words with the most points.

You must play all your words at once, and still have one left to discard

There’s a bonus for the player with the longest word and the player with the most words spelled. (In a 2-player game, only one of these bonuses is used.)

It’s a fun game than anyone can play, and it costs about $10-$12 on Amazon.
