It is a fun, easy to understand game that is quick to play and appropriate for the whole family. We have played it so much we have had to replace it.

I think it will probably depend on how 'mean' you want to be when you play it. In a group you can single someone out and block them or penalise them, but playing with just two of you that becomes less important probably so it's maybe a less competitive game that way. It suited me that way, that's all I can say and we had a good laugh playing it for hours. When I did finally get the family to play it, they liked it but it didn't really take off as well with them and we only played it for one night. I don't know if my experience is typical! **Q: From what age can children enjoy the game?** A: The game says it is for age 12+, but as many of the reviews say here, younger children can play the game as long as adults are playing to help them learn the game initially. I disagree with the answer above as you definitely do not need to know where places are to play this game. It is not a test of knowledge at all, but an immensely enjoyable, addictive fun tactical card game liked by both kids and adults. **Q: How long does it take to play?** A: Depends a bit on the number of players. If 2 players it can take about an hour. If 5 players about and 1 hour 15 mins. If you are learning the game it can take a bit longer as you get the hang of it, but once you have played a couple of times you will love it and be flying along. **Q: Is there maybe a tutorial video I can watch?** A: Hi Jackie - unfortunately I cannot find anything on youtube but the boardgamegeek site does have 3 reviews of the game - one of these helps give a flavour of the game. https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/485778/leave-space-your-suitcase-fun-little-card-game ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Backs packed! *by T***C on 14 January 2026* This game is brilliant for anyone who likes to travel.

Easy family game for older children and adults alike. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game for two players *by K***A on 19 August 2013* This is a great two player game. There are a lot of rules but these can be very easily picked up if you follow the 3 steps that they recommend in the instructions. This involves playing 3 versions of the game that gradually use more and more of cards, until you end up with the full set. Doing it this way we were playing the full set of rules after 4 rounds which didn't take that long, and we felt that it was easy to do this way and made a lot of sense. We attempted to play the full set if rules straight off, but we had to give up. My advice is don't give up because of it takes a while to learn, simply follow the steps in the instructions and it will be easy. Great game. ## Frequently Bought Together - Backpacker - The Ultimate Travel Game - Fun Pocket Sized Card Game About Travelling Around The World - Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Deal Card Game, Quick-Playing Card Game for 2-5 Players, Game for Families and Kids, Ages 8 and Up (Amazon Exclusive) - CATAN The Struggle Card Game | Card Game for Adults and Family | Strategy Card Game | Adventure Card Game | Ages 10+ | for 2 to 4 Players | Average Playtime 25 Minutes | Made Studio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/48430018-backpacker-the-ultimate-travel-game-fun-pocket-sized-card-game](https://www.desertcart.it/products/48430018-backpacker-the-ultimate-travel-game-fun-pocket-sized-card-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
