Tips and Tricks

Ready to get playing? Here are some tips to create even more fun.

Large scale games. Many of these yard games are larger versions of indoor games. The size really kicks the fun up a notch.
Set up a tournament. Do you thrive under competition? Hosting a family reunion? Set up a bracket for each game or keep track of points for each game won. Make a dry erase board or chalkboard for keeping score too.
Spice up a BBQ. Have food and fun at your next get together. Pick a game or two or three to play while food is cooking or after everyone has finished eating.
