About BackyardGamesTested

Lawn games live outside, get thrown, kicked and rained on, and are only fun when they are set up right. A cornhole board that bounces, bags that split, bocce balls that chip or a court laid out at the wrong distance spoil the game. BackyardGamesTested compares sets on materials and build, then gives the official dimensions and rules for each game.

We cover tossing games, bocce and lawn bowling-style games, croquet and kubb, net and paddle-free yard games, giant and party games, trampolines and playsets, and outdoor play lighting and storage. Board games belong to GameNightReviews, disc golf to DiscGolfTested, pickleball and table tennis to RacquetTested, and volleyball to VolleyVerdict.
