I remember as a kid, most all my country relatives had permanent horseshoe pits set up.
I don't see many anymore. |

we still play croquet but see more corn hole than horse shoes these days, horse shoes are fun but I had to learn the hard way to take them off the horse first.

Quoted: Actually pretty fun to play. Yeah, don't see as many sets for sale in stores anymore. View Quote I found a decent croquet set at a junk shop this spring and we have set it up and played several times. I had been trying to find a nice set for a while but there was like no middle ground. Either cheap and junk or they jumped up to like $600 sets with still mixed reviews. Me and my son played shuffleboard a few times at our resort on vacation. No clue if we were doing it right: just kind of made up our own rules but we had fun. |

I haven't seen an outdoor shuffleboard court since I was a child at a campground, but shufflepuck tables are pretty popular at craft beer and hipster cocktail bars

Quoted: Was gonna run with this but yesterday my buddy's kids were actually messing around with a badminton set and I informed my buddy that the projectile was a shuttlecock. View Quote I haven't played in 100 years. We have a volleyball net set somewhere around here. Off to Amazon for a racquet set and some shuttlecocks... |

How about playing war. We used to get sticks or branches shaped roughly like guns a chase each other around and "shoot" each other. Also ambushes and sneaking up on people. When I got older I actually started taking boards and cutting the shapes of different guns out and painting them. Used dowel rods for barrels and even made sights. I would hand them out when we'd play. Pretty badass when we were kids.
Likely make national news and likely get a kid shot nowadays. |

Steel tip darts.
I'm in a city with easily a thousand bars within a 10 mile radius and we probably have only a half dozen bars with steel tip dartboards. Lots of plastic electronic crap but steel is becoming a rarity. |
