All portable electronics can be brought into space, but we have to be concerned about whether they use batteries or direct power. In space the power is different and you have to have a special converter to change the rocket's voltage to the game's voltage. Also we have to be careful about how much weight we bring along, and how much electricity we are going to use. Being in space means we have to account for everything we use or bring along. If we are a group of people, then we will probably have to ration our electricity and this means we will only be allowed to bring certain things with us. It is okay to bring the games along, as long as we do not exceed our ration of electricity per person.
