When you are on a vacation with family, you go into it hoping for everything to be nonstop fun. Optimism tells you that though there are going to be a few pitfalls along the way, if you plan things well you can hope that most of your travel time is going to be unhurried, relaxing and on schedule. More often that not, though, life has other plans! Even on the best-planned trips you can expect to have downtime in airports waiting on planes, in hotel lobbies waiting on rooms to be cleaned and in diners waiting for your food to arrive. To keep everyone occupied, it’s important to bring along plenty of entertainment. Entertainment for traveling can include hand-held gaming consoles, cards for games and plenty of reading material. For cribbage lovers, a quality travel cribbage board means that you can take your favorite game with you wherever you go!
Carrying along your cribbage board means that you always have a backup plan, no matter what hiccups come along in your travel plans. Whether you are waiting for your rental car to be ready, spending time in a coffee shop while you wait for a storm to blow over or winding down after a long day of being a tourist, you always have something to keep yourself and your spouse occupied. If you haven’t tried cribbage before but are looking for something new that is easy to take along with you wherever your adventures take you, this game is it!
A quality travel cribbage board is going to be compact and easy to tuck into your carryon backpack or purse without being so small that it’s hard to use easily. Look for a board that comes in two halves so that it can be folded down to half the size. Really great travel boards are going to be held together with magnets that act as a hinge and contain your cards and pegs inside. Even travel boards are going to look fabulous and be made from a strong, smooth wood and carefully painted. While you are shopping for your travel board, consider getting one that comes with a velvet case that is going to keep everything contained while also protecting your board from any dings while you travel. Carrying your own cribbage board gives you all of the distraction you are going to need during any layover on your next relaxing family vacation.
