Travel game

A toy play set for containing at least one predetermined board game, the toy play set comprising:

• a generally circular cylindrically shaped, elongated body having a hollow interior, first and second opposing longitudinal ends, a central axis extending through the body between the longitudinal ends and a generally cylindrically shaped curved side wall extending around the hollow interior and the central axis elongatedly between the first and second ends, whereby the first and second ends and side wall generally surround the hollow interior in a closed configuration of the body, the generally cylindrically shaped curved side wall being generally circular in shape in planes perpendicular to the central axis, the body having an open configuration in which the hollow interior is at least partially accessible;
• a playing surface operably engaged with the body to play the predetermined board game, the playing surface being shaped and sized to be completely stored within the hollow interior of the body with the body in the closed configuration, the playing surface being accessible at least with the body in the open configuration for playing of the predetermined board game;
• and
• a plurality of game pieces selected for use with the playing surface when playing the predetermined board game, the plurality of game pieces being sized to store with the playing surface in the hollow interior of the body in the closed configuration, the game pieces being non-releasably rotatably engaged with the playing surface.

A toy play set comprising:

• an elongated body having a hollow interior, first and second opposing longitudinal ends, and a generally curved side wall essentially defining an elongated body of revolution between the first and second ends and essentially surrounding the hollow interior with the first and second ends in a closed configuration of the body, the body being essentially bisected along a central plane extending longitudinally between the first and second ends of the body to define first and second portions, each portion forming substantially half of the body, the first and second portions being hinged together on one pair of adjoining side edges so as to be pivotable apart from one another and provide an open configuration of the body with access to the hollow interior;
• a plurality of play pieces storable in the hollow interior with the body in the closed configuration and accessible to a user with the body in the open configuration;
• and
• a generally cup-shaped lid with an open end and an oppositely disposed closed end, the open end being removably engageable with at least one of the first and second ends in the closed configuration of the body and positionable in engagement with the side wall away from the first and second ends in the open configuration of the body.
