As summer starts to wind down, we think outdoor lawn games are the perfect way to incite some friendly competition while enjoying what’s left of the season’s sunny weather. But like anything we do, we’re doing it in style—which is why we’ve taken the liberty of rounding up 11 actually cool backyard games that are just as fun to look at as they are to play. From classic cornhole and badminton equipment to handsome croquet sets and even a beginner’s archery kit, these games are perfect if you’re planning a phone-free day with friends, family, or roommates. Simply set them up in your own backyard or pack them on lake vacations, beach days, or group park dates for fun on the go.
