Slacklining- you can get a nice setup for $50
Kind of thing where you suck at first but if you stick with it you get better. I've gone from being a shaky mess that couldn't stand up on it for 2 seconds to walking about 20 steps consistently and have done my first few backward steps.
Like it because you concentrate on your balance and forget about your problems or you will fall off.
It will probably help me keep balanced in the scrum of the jello lines at my old age home.
Unlike longboard skateboarding, none of the falls have hurt me badly.
Unlike longboard surfing, I'm not flailing and falling and getting in real surfers way while bikini clad women laugh at my patheticness.
Kubb- AKA Viking chess, good addition or alternative to cornhole as a backyard game and travels well to friend's BBQ's, beach etc. You take the skulls of your defeated enemies and line them up opposite each other, you put the dead king's skull in the middle, and you throw their femur bones trying to knock over the skulls and ultimately kill the king a second time. You can make the field small and easier if you have little kids playing or as large and hard as you feel like..
Crokinole- Canadian game from the 1800's that involves drinking lots of beer while talking shit to your opponents. Oh and flicking little discs trying to get them in or closer to the hole in the middle of the board while knocking your opponents discs out. I excel at the first part and am becoming decent at the flicking until the beers start to kick in.
Love it, but a decent tournament sized board is going to set you back close to $200. Wife thought I was nuts to pay that for a board game but I now have a bunch of people hooked on it including her nieces asking to play it when they visit and man can those little girls drink beer and talk smack.
