These Yard Games For Adults Are Good For Hours of Fun

ApudArmis Six-Player Croquet Set ($40)

Croquet requires some dexterity, making it ideal for grown-up crowds craving a new challenge at a BBQ. This Amazon set comes with all the equipment needed for under $40. You'll get six 28-inch mallets, six balls, a pair of 18-inch stakes, and nine steel wickets. It also comes with a manual so first-timers can quickly figure out what they're doing, plus a carry bag for easy transport and post-game storage. (Pro tip: some reviewers said the bag broke easily — have a backup plan like a crate.)

"This is very well made with a nice finish," wrote a reviewer. "The balls are poly so they won't break. The zipper on the storage bag broke first try, lol. I didn't want the bag anyway. I am very happy with the set."
