In reply to Matt Henning. Thanks Matt! Peer Sylvester is a great designer. Haven't tried Lost Expedition, but it looks really interesting.

Great list! I’ll have to check out Art Robbery and Scape Goat.

My favorite travel friendly co-op is Lost Expeditions. Maybe it has too many pieces but I took it on a backpacking trek so I think it works!

Looking forward to more content!

In reply to Nick Knack. Haha, sorry to put your wallet into such a dilemma 😆. But we'll try our best to make it worthwhile!

In reply to Nick Murray. Sweet, thank you! So basically The Deluxe Edition essentially gives me the Super Travel Edition as well, I like that! Tough decisions ahead with my wallet lol!

Yeah it is a bit confusing without being able to see the KS page yet 😆. Sure thing:

Travel Edition:
Comes in clamshell case and carabiner. 1-4 players. Standard game mode. All cards. This should eventually be available through retail. The Kickstarter will feature a pledge level called “Super Travel Edition” which upgrades the cards to PVC.

Standard Edition:
Comes in regular game box. 1-8 players. Standard game + two expansions (wood tokens). Three solo modes total (one for each way to play the game, standard, expansion, expansion). Regular cards (not PVC). This should be available through KS and retail.

Deluxe Edition:
Same as standard edition, but includes the clamshell case & carabiner (fits in box). Also, all wood tokens get screen print design and all cards are upgraded to PVC. Available through KS or BitewingGames.com (limited supply).

In reply to Scott. That's three great vacation games right there! I still remember when we played Startups on a houseboat at Lake Powell and had a blast with it.

Nice list, definitely played a few of them and now I have a few more to check out!!

Would you be able to clarify the editions of Trailblazers as between this post and the game page I’ve been a bit confused as some of the edition names seem to be interchanged or something. Before reading this I was under the impression that there is a Travel edition, Standard edition for more players, and Deluxe edition.. but now it sounds like there is a Travel edition and Deluxe Travel edition.. the former not having the PVC cards? Thanks for the clarification if possible and if not, already subscribed to the KS page a couple weeks back so ready when you are! 🙂

Took Startups with me on a trip to Guatemala (along with High Society and Colossal Arena!), and I can confirm it’s a great pick for traveling! Bright colors, fun and simple rules, and a tiny box — what more could you ask for?
