The vast collection of word games, which is available online at www.familytravelgames.com, includes old favorites like Twenty Questions and Eye Spy, as well original concepts developed by the author. A work in progress for nearly ten years, the games represent a compilation of hundreds of submissions from people all over the country fondly recalling their youth, much of which was spent traveling everywhere from baseball games to Disney World in the family sedan.
