Throw Throw Burrito Extreme Outdoor Edition
Rated 4.7 out of 5 based on nearly 32,000 Amazon.ca reviews
Imagine a game where you collect matching sets of cards faster than your opponents while simultaneously ducking, dodging, and throwing squishy airborne burritos. Well, here it is! Throw Throw Burrito is a simple and easy game for both kids and adults (recommended for ages seven and up). Ideal for two to six players, it comes with 120 cards, seven tokens, and two soft inflatable burritos that blow up to three-feet tall. Customers say this game is super silly for fun family nights outside.
Giant Jenga Game
Rated 4.7 out of 5 based on more than 600 Amazon.ca reviews
It’s more challenging than it looks to take a jumbo block from the bottom and put it on top with this throwback game of giant Jenga! The wood blocks stack to just over four feet of pure entertainment suitable for one or more players, ages eight and up. Believe it or not, this version is over eight times the size of classic Jenga, which is an impressive fact you can tell your opponents. Customers indicate the game is fun, well-crafted, and worth paying the somewhat expensive price for.
Designer Cornhole Set with Bags
Rated 4.6 out of 5 based on nearly 150 Wayfair.ca reviews
Cornhole is taking the country by storm! We know this board won’t be for everyone, but if I was buying a new cornhole game, I’d buy this fancy, pretty, designer one for my backyard (it would look aesthetically great at the beach too, just sayin’). It’s water, UV, heat, and mildew resistant and overall expensive. But we bet it’s worth it if you’re going for that certain cornhole look. Bags are included. Customers love that these are unique and made with real wood.
