When off the beaten path, a good card game will save the day. Cards pack easily, they are small, and they usually have fairly simple rules that can be translated well enough to carry you through a monsoon season. When you are far from all things...the smallest entertainment will make a big impact.
Today, I found a pack of environmental playing cards that would warm the hearts of even the most icebound of travellers to the far North and South seas. Never before have I seen a card game based around the food chain, let alone my favorite underdogs of the sea, Krill...but today was my lucky day. Not quite sure how to play it yet, but I know it will end up on the far stretches of the globe as a treasured conversation piece.
In all things, a small, meaningful gift will be worth it's weight in gold in the bottom of your pack.
Happy travels.
