بالينو ترافل

Bought this for a long flight and it kept me busy for hours. The coloured marbles roll through the tracks so smoothly, and the little travel case means nothing spills in my bag. Way more fun than the games on my phone.

The lever-shifting sequence is trickier than it looks at first, but once you get the rhythm the colored marbles drop into such satisfying patterns. Kept me busy for a solid hour on the train.

Took this on a week-long trip and it kept my kids busy for hours in the hotel. The levers are stiff enough that you actually have to plan your sequence, which makes it way more engaging than it looks. Marbles stay put once you get the pattern right.
