My wife and I are going on a 10 day backpacking trip in August. I'd like to have some lightweight and low volume games to take along, but don't have any prospects! We like playing Settlers, Carcassone, Puerto Rico, Tigris & Euphrates, Trader of Genoa, etc. Any suggestions for games either along these lines or otherwise that might fit the bill?
Thanks!

Dear God, Lost Cities my friend, Lost Cities! Of course it is *only* 2 player but it's still great.
Are these games just for the two of you? Will they be played in the wind?
You may want to check BoardGameGeek's lists. Here's a search on the word "backpack":

The first one that came to mind for me was Meuterer, but it's 3-4 player and would blow away outside.

Wow I've got nothing to add, guess it goes to show that I dont get to play many games these days. Very sad really...
Lost Cities is a good one, and notice that there's no need to take the board to play the game.
Another good choice is San Juan, espcially since you mentioned Puerto Rico.
If you like "settlers" there is a travel edition (I own a copy of the travel edition).. You may be able to find it in a local game stor or maybe order it in from somewhere.
