I used to work in a life raft service center, it was such a bad job the only fun was shooting each other with projectiles from high pressure air hoses, anyway, I used to toy with the idea of putting notes in with the life raft provisions saying things like, "hate to be you" or "don't worry I'm sure sombody will be along shortly" "feeling hungry? I bet your buddies would be alot tastier than those crackers that are quickly running out" anyway you get the picture. This seems incredibly cruel though, mainly because it is, it would be alot better to put travel board games in with the rations to take the cast aways minds off their iminent deaths, or in more dire circumstances, best of 3, looser gets eaten.

Maby not battleships though.

Use a checker board that can double as pathcing material. try vaccume packed eddible peices with chess symbols on one side. plastic mat chessboards can be easily puchased on the internet

I'm fairly sure we all understand what travel games are, we'd rather come up with lots of pointless things to include instead. I vote for a pool table.
