Solitaire is a classic one person game & this travel version is small enough to tuck away in a travel bag or handbag until it is needed. All the parts fit inside the fold up board which doubles as a storage box to keep the small parts safe. The counters are magnetic to keep them securely on the board during play. Remove counters from the board by jumping over them in an attempt to remove all the counters, leaving just one in the centre. ...

This travel game of Warships is lots of fun to take out & about. Placing the aircraft carrier, destroyer & submarine etc on the board, players attempt to 'sink' the opponents ships using coordinates such as C4 or F7. The coloured pegs are put into the battle board to denote a hit or a miss as the battle progresses, & excitement builds as the ships are in jeopardy. A traditional family game for two players which promises lots of competitive play. ...

Players race against one another to guess which character their opponent has chosen.  Questions such as 'does your person have brown hair?' & 'does your person have glasses?' allow the faces to be flipped over until,  by a process of elimination,  only one person remains.  The race is on to see who can guess first! The game is enhanced by the striking similarity of the cartoon characters to friends & relatives & all have names by which to identify them. Will it be Peter, John, Mandy or Alison? Start asking the right questions & find out! When play is over the two halves snap together for storage
- an ideal game for travelling.

Their eggs evolved to survive periods of drought, only to hatch once there has been sufficient rainfall.
