Garden Drinking Games

BBQ, sunset, and the right game on the garden table — that's what a perfect summer evening looks like. Garden drinking games have the advantage that indoor games will never have: fresh air, more space, and neighbors looking over in envy. Here you'll find games that work just as well at the garden table as on the lawn. Whether you're drinking Aperol or apple spritzer — the garden makes everything better.

What sets garden drinking games apart from indoor games

In the garden you have one key advantage: space. The garden table offers enough surface for the Drunken Tower, the Roulette Drinking Game, or Shots & Ladders. Games that feel squeezed between the coffee table and TV in the living room really come alive outdoors.

Then there's the atmosphere. String lights, grill going in the background, warm evening — that takes every game to another level. Card drinking games like Do or Drink or Buzzed run even more relaxed at the garden table than indoors.

Only enemy: wind. Cards love to fly away when a gust comes. Solution: put a drink can on the deck as a weight. Or go straight for the Waterproof Poker Cards — they're heavier and also survive a spilled drink.

Garden party, BBQ, or summer festival — which game fits?

Garden party (4–8 people): The classics. Card games for quick rounds, the Drunken Tower as an eye-catcher on the table. Let's Get Drunk or Sotally Tober to warm up, then a game with more substance.

BBQ evening (3–6 people): Between flipping sausages and the next round, a dice game fits perfectly. Shut the Box on the side table — whoever's not at the grill, rolls the dice. Short rounds, no interruption when someone stands up.

Big summer party (10+): With lots of people, you need something that runs in the background. No-equipment drinking games like Never Have I Ever work at any group size. Or active drinking games — those make proper use of the garden space.

Garden vs. park vs. festival — what works where?

In the garden you have luxury: table, chairs, power, a roof if it rains. You can play anything here — from compact card games to full-size board-style drinking games. No limits.

In the park things get more minimalist. No table, no stable surface. That's where card games and no-equipment games are the better choice. At a festival, even more compact — everything needs to fit in the backpack.

In short: the garden is the best setting for drinking games. You get all the advantages of outdoors and all the advantages of indoors. Make the most of it. Two or three games on the garden table, drinks chilling, music on — done. Free shipping on orders over €50, so order enough for the whole summer.
