This review has been updated 8 times since it was first published in November of 2018. There’s no greater humiliation than losing to a friend in a pub game at the local watering hole. Just like in any sports movie, you need to train before taking on the champ again. These home versions are easy to set up, allowing you to perfect your technique until the day you’re able to take the title and win the girl of your dreams, provided she’s impressed by bar activities.

9. Channel Craft

8. Tiki Toss Hoop Swing

- More challenging than standard games
- It is very small
- Ball frequently comes off rope

7. Island Jay
To keep the kids from fighting, it’s sometimes best to separate them, which is why the Island Jay (around $25) provides two kits, allowing you to install one on each side of the house. Just make sure they’re careful, as these small boards don’t do much to protect your walls.

- All-weather coating
- Screws not long enough for drywall

6. Tiki Toss Bones
If you’ve got an unfinished basement or some wooden beams in your garage, you can save a bit of money by going with this Tiki Toss Bones (appx. $11), which doesn’t include the backboard. It could also come in handy if you lost a couple of parts while moving and need to replace them.

- Mounts with screws or adhesive tape
- Attractive finished wood
- Easy to yank off a ceiling


4. Tiki Toss Deluxe Set

2. Sol Coastal Big Kahuna
To provide decoration that’s island-themed, yet menacing, the Sol Coastal Big Kahuna (appx. $29) features a tiki mask design that seems to be daring you to give it a try. The steel bottle opener makes it easy to incorporate performance-enhancing substances.
- Includes rule book
- Brightly-colored cord
- Board is thick and sturdy

1. Hammer Crown
Not to demean your friends, but they’re slobs and picking up after them is no fun. That’s why the magnetic cap catch on this Hammer Crown (about $38) is so useful. It can hold 24 bottle tops, so you won’t accidentally step on one while barefoot.
