Now that the weather is coperating, you can finally start up the grill and have your peeps over to chow down and catch up. But what do you do while that pork loin is being marinated and the burgers are cooking? Drop the gossip and get active while having a grand ole time with outside games. All the games are flexible, make up rules and scoring to fit your group and if you have to work the next day!
Bola or Polish Golf. All you need is 3'4 of an inch of hardwall piping. Don't use PVC piping, because it bends to much. Get Noah inspiration and build a Bola 'ladder'. 3 'steps' of piping, directly below one another. Make your bola balls next. Piece of rope with two golf balls at each end, or however you can make it work. Object of the game is to toss the ropes onto the piping. Beer must always be in hand. Top rung is two points, middle rung is worth three points (hardest to hit) and the bottom rung is worth 1 point. Each point equals one drink. So if you toss on onto the middle ladder, and I'm on the opposite team, I drink 3. First team to 21 wins, losers finish up their drinks. Two tosses per player per turn.
Bean Bag Toss. Cut out a paint can sized hole in a ramp. Have four bean bags. Two teams, two people per team. Try to toss the bean bags through the hole. 1 point for getting it on the board, 3 points for getting it through the hole. Can be scored many different ways. If I toss it through, and a person on the other team tosses it through also, but not other points are scored, tosses can cancel each other out. So you can play only high points count, or highest points score, minus the other teams points. So if I toss it through, but the other player lands one on the board, my team only scores two. Beer must always be in hand. First to 21, losers finish winners drinks. Also can dish out 'drinks' per points.
Friz-Knock. Four foot long 2x4, screw it to a square base of wood. Two 20 oz. bottles, filled halfway with sand: Put on top of 2x4. Only other thing you need is a frisbe sp? golf putter and beer. Can play with normal Frisbee too. Try to topple the bottle sitting on top of the other teams 2x4. Knocking the bottle off is worth 3 points IF the other team doesn't catch it. If they do it's only worth two. If you hit the board its worth 1. If you hit the board and make the bottle fall--2 points, unless the team catches it, then again a point is deducted. If the team throwing misses everything, the other team has to catch it as long as its above the knees and within reasonable reach. If the team doesn't catch it, then they have to return it and the throwing team gets to try again. Play to 21, BEER MUST BE IN HAND AT ALL TIMES, with two player teams that gives you two free hands to catch. Losers finish winners beers. Points can be awared as drinks.
MIni-Ball. Buy a mini basketball hoop and install. Buy beer. Made shot is 3 points, hitting rim is 2, backboard is 1. If I hit the backboard first then rim, then everyone else has to drink 1. 10 frames in bowling, 10 shots per person per game. The clincher: If I make it 3 drinks for you, everyone shoots, and if the next time I shoot I make it again, you drink 6, if I make it three times in a row, it's 9 drinks. You get the picture. Losers finish their drinks.
BEER PONG!!! Yes it can be played outside. Simply get a piece of plywood same size of a ping pong table and put it on two taller saw horses. Nine cups, fill quarter of the way up. Rules vary. My favorie way to play is re-racks at 6 and 3, elbow can't go past end of table, can blow out spinners, a bounce in is worth two cups but can be swatted away, if both team memebers make their shots they get to go again. Last cup can be placed anywhere on table. Losers finish winners cups. And any pitchers, mixed drinks, etc. on table must be drank if you are the reason it falls into it. Swat a ball away into the beer pitcher? Guess what, you drink it. It should go without saying that a beer must be in hand.
Happy Drinking!

Bocci ball

Bocci ball is good one too, and it involves little or no preparation unless you don't have a set. Horseshoes can also be played, but you need horse shoe pits..... I can't believe someone else knows friz-knock, that's awesome! | oh yeah!

We've played Friz-Knock. That's a great one!
What about Bocci ball? That one can easily be turned into a drinking game too. |

What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |
