Bored with your Game Boy? Can’t face another round of Street Fighter on the in-flight entertainment system? Then, gentle business traveler, it’s time to go old school, with stylish, analog pastimes. Do away with bleeping consoles and rediscover some gaming class. This isn’t advice for Luddites, though, as these recommendations are sold by e-stores:
Travel Scrabble
Naturally, you’ll also have to pack a pocket dictionary if you don’t want etymological arguments to break out mid-flight. A built-in scoring device does away with the need for pencil and paper in this road version of the classic word game. $43.30 from amazon.co.uk
Burl Veneer Card Set
This will keep you and your neighbor busy when the in-flight movie is slow. $89.99 from thegamestore.com
Leather Cribbage Set
This plush, zippered travel set comes with separate sleeves for each item, an interior divider and a folding, wooden cribbage board. $84.99 from thegamestore.com
