Games to play on Australia Day 2023

When you think of Australia day a few words maybe come into your mind.  Perhaps it’s ‘beer’, ‘beaches’, ‘lambchops’, or ‘Bunnings snags’.

To us, we can’t help but think of the games we play with family or a few of our best mates on Australia Day.

So, no matter if you’re catching up with family for lunch and a game of backyard cricket or a few mates for a few beers and beer pong, we’ve compiled a list of a few best games to play this Australia Day and why we think they would make a for a memorable day (or a day you can’t remember depending on how rowdy you want to be).

Cooked Aussies Card Game

Finally a card game that was made by Australians, for Australians and loved by Australians. Cooked Aussies combines Australian humour with alcohol. The final results? A game that gets everyone involved, laughing and possibly quite intoxicated. How Australian is that?

How to play:

At the beginning of each round, one person draws a green card known as the ‘rule card’. This dictates the rule that everyone must remember and follow. Caught breaking the rule and you’re forced to finish your drink! Everyone else takes turn drawing a yellow card with a mini game written on it but remember the rules of the green card when you’re playing or you could lose twice!

Beat That

This ones for the families! Everything you need to play this game is included in the colourful box. Beat That is a competitive game where everyone attempts the challenges. This is one everyone from the kids to the grandparents will enjoy!

Finska Outdoor Game

We love cricket as much as the next guy but there’s something about Finska that takes beating your friends and family to a whole another level. This outdoor game was voted the hottest new game to play outside and we understand why! It’s simple to pick up, travel with and play.

How to play:

It’s the first to 50 points chucking game but once the blocks with the points have been knocked down they must be placed up from the spot they landed making the game more and more challenging as it progresses!

Buzzed Tower

Doesn’t take much to explain this new game by Buzzed. Simply stack the blocks ontop of each other until someone knocks it over – Oh! but did we also mention that each round involves drawing a card with a mission like stacking the blocks using only your toes? Goodluck! This game is incredibly fun and hard to stay sober!

Cards For Beer Pong

This addition is meant to shake up the game of beer pong played for generations! Before you throw, pick up a card from the ‘throw’ pile. Before you drink, pick up a card from the ‘drink’ pile. With new challenges, wild cards and gamble cards, Cards For Beer Pong evens out the playing field. It just takes one card to change the outcome of the game!

CARDS FOR BEER PONG

These 5 games are a must have this Australia Day, and we recommend picking them up to make the day even more memorable. Just remember to drink responsibly!
