Recommendations for a good, portable, 3-player game?
I'm going to be heading down to Houston and spending a lot of time waiting around in a surgery recovery room with my dad and brother. Can anyone give me a recommendation of a good 3 player game that is small enough to fit in a carry on bag?

Crokinole? 
I can't imagine, even at my most inebriated, hearing a bouncer offering me an hour with a stripper for only $1,400 and thinking That sounds like a reasonable idea.-Two Sheds

Card games that work with 3 are a good bet - Hanabi, Coloretto, even some super small-box games like Colossal Arena or Space Hulk: Death Angel. If you want to go with board games, End of the Triumvirate is probably the best 3-player game I know of, and sans box it would easily fit in a carry-on bag.

Race for the Galaxy works fairly well for three players and is pretty compact (especially if you just take the deck of cards and rulebook instead of the whole box). Alternately, Carcassonne.
