We Want One of These Plinko-Style Bottle Opener Boards

We’re a pretty satisfied bunch, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t covetous. Sometimes we see things out there that we just must have. Cool Things We Want is an archive of those earthly desires.

This hand-made, wall-mounted, Plinko-style bottle opener from Maryland’s LeRoy Woodworks looks like it would fun to mess around with. They are fully customizable with engravings and text, and start at around $90 (CAD).

The most unique plinko board you will find! Each one is hand made for each order with multiple options to customize/personalize your board. The only plinko board with magnets at the bottom to catch the bottle caps from falling out and a hinged clear front for easy cleaning and removing stuck bottle caps.

Choose to add shot glasses to your order to step up your game and bring this fun drinking game to the next level. Start the night out with different drinks in each glass then as caps fall into the glass the shot is drank and then removed revealing what has to be done the next time a cap falls into that spot.

Numbered 1-6 or custom sayings at the bottom with MAGNETS to catch the bottle cap from falling out.
