So I'm taking off for British Columbia with the family. I used to cram as many portable games as I could in my bag, but this year three of the kids have iPod touch-es (I have no idea how to pluralize that) and I'm bringing an iPad filled with most of the best iOs boardgames. I did throw a copy of Rat-a-tat-cat for our seven-year-old. My eleven-year-old son asked if he could bring some Battleground Fantasy Warfare, but the floor of his room is covered with playing cards and I'm pretty sure that would be the fate of BGFW as well.
I guess I've learned that you can't force the kids to play games, and they'll either play or not when they're ready.
