No matter how much you like to travel, there are times when boredom kicks in and you need to keep your children—or your adult traveling companions—entertained. Some of my best memories from childhood travels are the card game sessions of Old Maid, Go Fish and Kings in the Corner. Cards are such a compact game to pack for playing on a plane, while camping, in a hotel room or a cafe. That being the case, I went on a hunt for unique decks. Some are travel-themed, others just fun and cool to play and some are updates on classics.
Uno Show ‘Em No Mercy: If you’re a fan of Uno, this newest update on the classic will entertain for hours and make you cringe, cuss, cry and laugh in disbelief. That’s because it lives up to its description: brutal, ruthless and unapologetic. Makers Mattel have added a bunch of extra cards with ruthlessly tough action cards and penalties that’ll have you tearing your hair out (draw 10 cards, anyone?). Warning: You'll need to put on your big-boy pants to handle the merciless new penalties.
