Board games are fun, but there's no need to limit them to the indoors when the weather's nice. Take to the beach, park, or backyard with this setup that uses the same kind of sharp, sturdy fabric that your best clothes do. It's smartly made as a roll-up bag, so you can stow all the pieces inside for an easy carry, then empty it and smooth out the surface to play.

This one uses 10 oz natural cotton canvas with a brown Latigo leather drawstring, and comes stocked with 30 ringed wood pieces and the necessary dice and dice cup. New to the game? Don't worry — it comes with instructions.
