My fiancée and I like to play dice / board / card games when we're out and about. I keep these mini ones on me all the time, because we often forget to bring something or don't want to carry around a game and these take up virtually no space. I'd say we use them at least twice a week
I am looking to upgrade them though. These came from a mini farkle set (which is primarily what we play with these), but I'd love to have something that has a little bit more heft to them.
A skill toy. They originated as prayer beads in Russian prisons, and people started using them as a way to pass the time by flipping them around and doing tricks. Modern chetki are designed specifically for this type of manipulation

some time ago I've found myself in a group that has nothing to do but wait. I had no games with me so i proposed to play Morra
It can be played by only 2 to a dozen and all you need are fingers. It's fun and quick. If you like farkle, you may like Morra.
