Seems to me Yahtzee is naturally quite travel friendly. What makes this edition better for travel than packing up my full-size?

Nothing! In fact, I was disappointed in this edition since the company makes an actual travel version which we had at one time, but lost. In the actual travel version, the dice are captured in a hand held cylinder which allows them to tumble when rolled against the hand and then traps them one at a time by snapping the back of the compartment holding the die in place. It is very cool! I kept looking till I found the true travel version. I kept it to give as a gift, since it is a favorite game.

Depends on how you travel. When the kids come along on vacation, I need to keep the games small to fit more of them in our luggage...or pack a bag of just games. If you are flying, that gets expensive. If you are driving and have plenty of luggage space, load up all the full size games!

Everything fits in the cup! The dice, score sheets, pencils...all contained in the cup with a lid. So if space is an issue, this is really compact and light weight. We flew out west for a two week National Park vacation, suitcase was overflowing! So this little set was perfect. Hope this helped.

Everything fits in the cup (dice, pencils, score sheet) and the cup has a lid. We have to use a fuzzy sock to cover the cup when playing because the cup and dice are very loud. We just keep the sock around the cup when in storage or traveling.

It fits in my carry on bag! I also stuff some small bubble wrap around the dice so they don't rattle.

Hi, hope this finds you well. The dice cup with "Yahtzee To Go" comes with a lid, so that you can store your dice, a few score sheets, and a small pencil in it without having to bring a whole game box with you. Hope this is helpful.

Try Hasbro. As of this morning, http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/parts-refills-scrabble-folio-edition-game-tiles-and-score-pad-refill?BR=547&ST;=SO&PG;=1 is the page for ordering tiles for the travel edition.

Buy the digital download version, not the physical copy. Also Brave New World is an expansion pack that requires the original Civilization 5. Double check that as well.

This is better for travelling, hotel for example where the outlet is temporarily in use. Where space is a concern a smaller model might be more appropriate.

the tiles on this version are smaller than an SD card and the ones on the "regular" version are more like an SD card INSIDE the plastic case, if that makes any sense? We're perfectly happy w/ the smaller version for transportability and table space when playing. When we play the larger version w/ our gaming-fiend grandma, the larger tiles seem huge but are great for a large table when you don't want to transport anywhere. Smaller ones are a lighter material too FYI.

Hi, In my own opinion I would not find it too suitable for travel. You may want a lighter, smaller one.

I own that computer, buy it! If you don't like it you can sell it for about double that. It's pretty cool though, and nice and small if you travel.

If these are your only item, no additional cans or books, yes they travel well. And very yummy flavors. BBQ is my fave.

Agree with other's answers. Bowl may be simpler for travel. Key feature of this item is portability when walking. This is the only one I found that the human can drink out of too, though a little awkward.

I haven't played previous versions, so I can't really offer a comparison. My experience with the 4th edition, however, has been great. The only flaw was some missing arrows that are tough to notice. Big whoop! GREAT game.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro, and yeah, it is a bit hard to lug around. Also not so portable on things like airplane seatback trays.For the traveler, the 13" is probably the better choice. For me, I very much love the added screen size, so it's a hard choice. But I don't travel lots.

I just ordered the duo today so I haven't gotten it yet, but did a lot of researching the last month. I'll probably write a review after I play with it for a bit. The iPad seemed nifty for a tablet but it's drawbacks were too big for me: Tiny storage amount, no USB ports, limited to mac software and apps, and much more expensive. The good battery life does make it tempting otherwise.... I've had a big laptop of a few years and the screen just died on me. It was great, but big and bulky and not so great for toting around anywhere with me. Actually for it's size, the Duo has about the same specs as my full laptop did (including average to poor battery life). I've always used my laptop as a secondary computer, when I'm downstairs and just want to tinker on the internet, small programs, or read. If you want great specs, want to use some hard-core multi-tasking or programs and want that real upgrade from the little netbook... a laptop might be better if it's your only computer. My best friend has a netbook and I was always struck by how small it is. She seems quite happy with it though and I have to admit it's so easy to bring anywhere. Though I wouldn't say the duo is a perfect product by any means yet, I think it seems the best mix. Gives much more functionality than an iPad (or any plain tablet) and does come with better specs than almost any netbook I've seen (Windows 7, 2 GB of Ram, and equivalent or better storage).

Get this one. See my review. You don't lose anything with the small version. You only gain portability.

We went with the Lotus for the following reasons: 1. Mesh all around the bottom. The BB has one solid panel on the bottom. 2. The zip option. Love that baby can come in and out and I can crawl in as well. 3. Portability. Everything neatly packs up into a carry on sized back pack that makes it easy to lug around and also bring on plane. Not possible with BB. 4. Price. More affordable than BB. The Guava family site has offers not available through amazon which make it a even better deal. 5. Frame. I felt the frame was better quality than the BB but that could just be me.

Hi there. Europe sounds like a lot of fun! Here's the deal with this product as I see it. Good space, good comfort. Lots of pockets for your essentials. The problem as I see it is that there is no bottom zipper to get to the goodies you may store there. There is a mid range pocket that I suppose was made to take the place of the bottom entrance, but in my opinion is not as good. Again, good space and weight distribution for 2 week excursions, maybe a little more if clean clothes are not your priority. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

They are 2 different things. If you travel a lot (by plane or train, car is easier) and don't have too much space in your apt/house, then the Nest is FANTASTIC! It was a suitcase when we traveled and a bassinet next to my bed when we were at home. I loved it and it is the only gadget i kept... just in case we decide to have a #3. My daughter used it until she was around 6 months.If you dont travel and you have the room, then the pack and play is the way to go. You will use it until they are at least 24 months.. or more.cheers!

I think Jennifer Harrison's descriptive report says it all, including adding the extra apple. I grew up with Robertson's mincemeat so tend to buy the brand more often than any other. I've tried more expensive ones but they rarely live up to their price tag. I forgot to take some to the USA for our son one summer and discovered I could buy it on Amazon, saved me the bother of parcelling it up and paying a visit to the post office. I think it was probably cheaper to do it that way, saved on two weighty items in luggage, plus having to explain to the customs what 'mincemeat' was.
