What are some fun activities for male friends to do that are low effort and quick to set up?

I've done some grilling with friends and cooking is nice, but looking for another cheap, more active thing.

I suppose we could hike, though it's cold here right now. Bowling is kind of lame and expensive. Frisbee golf is another option but again, somewhat cold.

Perhaps I'm being too picky, but I wish there was an easy equivalent for men to the 'going shopping' that women seem to default to. They get to walk around and chat in a nice climate controlled environment.

I guess I'm just one more casualty in the culture war :'(

Board games, card games, dice games, video/computer games, hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking, fishing, having a bonfire, darts, Jarts (even better if you can find the old metal-tipped ones), horseshoes, cornhole, hillbilly golf, bocce ball, shooting, axe throwing, kubb, strolling around town (either downtown or through any parks or trails nearby)…. As Ioper said, there are a million possibilities.

Generally, especially during colder months, I would recommend card games and dice games. Once learnt, most games are usually hard enough to keep your attention but easy enough to allow for plenty of side conversation. I’ve found that most board games require more attention.
