Cornhole
Two angled boards and some bean bags, and a garden is enough
A pair of boards and eight bags is the entire kit, and a garden, a car park or a patch of grass all work. The rules take five minutes: one point on the board, three in the hole. It asks almost nothing physically, which is why it lives alongside barbecues. Competitive leagues exist, and accuracy separates people clearly.
First stepSet two boards 27 feet apart and keep tossing until one bag drops through the hole.
