Car game
Car games or road-trip games are games played to pass the time on long car journeys, often started by parents to amuse restless children. They comprise mostly of conversation games when including the driver, and also hand games when excluding the driver. They generally require little or no equipment or playing space. Some such games are designed specifically to be played while traveling (e.g. the license plate game, the Alphabet Game, or "car tag" games like Punch Buggy), while others are games that can be played in a variety of settings including car journeys (e.g. twenty questions).
A travel game is a "game designed to be easily transportable and playable in a variety of settings." It is a broader term as many car games can also be played in other vehicles like trains, boats, and planes. Travel games may also include components such as cards, travel-sized board games, or electronics. In 1960, Milton Bradley's pocket-sized "The Checkered Game of Life" is considered the U.S.'s first travel game, designed for soldiers of the American Civil War.
In the alphabet game, each player has to find the letters of the alphabet among signs and other pieces of text in the environment around them, working through the alphabet in order from A to Z. Players may take turns, each turn lasting five miles of driving distance, or may play cooperatively with each other.
The game is also known as "where's the alphabet".
Various games involve players looking out for a particular make, model, or color of car on the road, such as "banana game", "car colors", and "find the vehicle". The game ends when the travellers reach their destination, and the person who spotted the most cars wins. Cars in a dealership lot are usually not counted.
House rules may make certain car models trigger other effects beyond or instead of awarding points, most famously in the game variant known as "Punch Buggy" where spotting a Volkswagen Beetle allows the spotter to punch another passenger.
I Spy is a common car game, one person calling out "I spy with my little eye something..." then giving a clue such as naming a letter, and others attempting to guess the object that was spied.
Players may agree that any chosen object should remain visible during the journey, rather than something that will be passed and not seen again during the journey. Players may also agree to decide if the objects will be all outside or all inside the vehicle.
