Play on, player

June 21, 2024

Summer is playtime. I wrangled up a few great beach or outdoor lawn games for hosting, travel or just weekend fun.

Keep it classic: This bocce ball set is 19% off and comes with its own carrying case.
Get the kids off their screens: This game set is a party in a box for the younger members of your summering crew, with four games in one. Select the size for kids ages 3 to 7 or 5 to 10.
Light up the night: A lightweight, light-up flying disc is good for parties that go past sunset, which is pretty late these days! Woo, it’s 15% off.
Backyard bowling: An outdoor (or indoor, for rainy days) bowling set for 22% off. Strike!
Tabletop playing: Give your feet a rest from the other games and play a hook-and-ring game (15% off).
Create your own course: Most putting games are pricey, but this set of two putting cups is a steal on sale for $8.99. Get a bunch and create your own 18.
