Anyone have one to recommend?  Trips with my son have a lot of down time and I’ve been losing too much in therm-a-rest fabric pad sleeve checkers and chess.

Sharpie and a ruler?

amazon has lots of little poker chips the size of nickels or dimes that are quite light weight.

Would be a bit of work, but you could get some mini ping pong balls, glue a small bit of velcro to each, and then get a sheet of fabric that velcro will stick to and draw the board onto the fabric. Should end up pretty light.

If you carry a smartphone already, you could also just download a chinese checkers game for the phone.

A little off-topic, but my son taught me a new game while we were hiding out from the cold rain during a simple overnight camping trip recently. It’s not Chinese Checkers, and the name of the game is nothing more than an unfortunate coincidence. The game was new to me, though maybe it’s old hat to others. It won’t keep you occupied for hours, unless that rain just won’t stop and you’ve really, really got nothing else to do. But, it is definitely ultralight. In fact, it weighs precisely nothing.

Without further ado, I present to you…Chopsticks!

Wow. That’s a really nice setup. I might make a Pente set like that. Maybe some small punches could make the round pieces quickly.
