Product Description
Get outside and have a blast with the BlongoBall Game Set! This lawn game is easy to learn and has recently been popping up in campsites, tailgate parties, and backyards everywhere. BlongoBall is played by 2 players or teams, and you simply attempt to toss the BlongoBalls onto the BlonGoals. Each rung of the BlonGoal ladder is worth a different number of points. You continue play until you reach 21. But be careful! Your BlongoBalls can be knocked off the ladder by other players forcing you to lose points. The BlongoBall Set features 2 BlonGoals, 2 sets of BlongoBalls, and an easy to carry box for maximum portability. So, join the craze and see what BlongoBall is all about!
Amazon.com Product Description
Liven up your camping trips and family reunions with this full BlongoBall set. Appropriate for use both outdoors and indoors, BlongoBall combines elements from bocce, horseshoes, croquet, and other lawn sports, but adds a unique twist: rather than throwing a ball or a shoe, you throw a BlongoBall, which is technically two small spheres connected by a thin stretch of rope. The goal is to wrap your BlongoBall around one of the horizontal bars of the BlonGoal, which stands 25 feet away (or less if kids are playing). Players score one, two, or three points with a successful throw, depending on which bar the BlongoBall grabs. And the game ends when one person or team reaches 21 points exactly. You can even add a bit of defensive strategy to the game by trying to knock your opponent's BlongoBalls off the bars. BlongoBall is fun for kids and families, but it's also great for physical education classes, teambuilding games, or even as a rehab tool in a therapy setting. The BlongoBall set comes with two BlonGoals and two sets of BlongoBalls. Players can also purchase such accessories as extra BlongoBalls, a carrying bag, and a portable score tower. About BlongoBall
Mike Long and his wife, Roberta, were early retirees who spent much of their time fishing, hunting, rafting, boating, and RVing. When Mike was introduced to the rudimentary concept of BlongoBall, he decided that the game merited serious development and investigation. Mike built the prototype game and used all of his friends as test subjects. BlongoBall was tested on the beaches of Lake Powell, on raft trips on the Salmon River, on the beaches of San Diego, and in parks and campgrounds form the southwest to the northwest. In every location, passersby would stop and interrupt the games to find out where they could buy BlongoBall. The enthusiastic response encouraged Mike to continue to refine the rules and goal configurations. After months of design, research and testing, Mike applied for and received a patent for BlongoBall, which has been enthusiastically received by kids and adults of all ages since its release. Founded in 2004, BlongoBall is located in Spokane, Washington.

Great game Gear September 6, 2010
Stanley B.
I couldn't be happier with this fun game. It is really fun, stays together and stores well too. This is the first one I've owned, but made my purchase based on recommendations from others who purchased the same one. I couldn't be more happy.
This game is a blast!!! August 31, 2010
captainthreshold (Metro Detroit)
Wow, what fun. This game is a great party, family gathering, evening out in the back yard game. It assembled easily and comes apart as quickly and goes back into the box the same. We have taken it on picnics, to the beach, etc. I viewed and compared many of these sets that are available on line, in local stores and even checked out the plans for building your own. After comparing prices (it cost more to buy the supplies from the big box home improvement store) and looking at quality, I determined that this Blongo ball set was the one to buy. It is sturdy and seems like it will hold up to many years of play. I am satisfied with the quality and price of this game set.

Solid, well-made, easy to set up, and reasonable value. I checked out three competitive products in the brick-and-mortar stores and was disappointed in the quality, but this product is clearly sturdy and will last a few years.

J. Curtis (Washington)
We love this game and it's portable so we can bring it to the beach or anywhere. We've had friends over to play and the kids love it too, it's great fun for any age. The is a sturdy set, very well made. The only drawback is this set does not have the score counter on the side, this can be easily remedied by buying 2 rubber washers and making a numbered sticker.

"Clearly The Coolest Toy You've Reviewed Yet" - The Tonka Ricochet RC Toy Review
Words of effusive praise for any toy don't come easily for my husband. While he supports my job as a toy reviewer, he shakes his head a lot.

His reaction to the Tonka Ricochet RC Toy (Compare Prices) was different. ...Read Full Post
E-Z Bat Baseball Bat Toy is a Hit with Toddlers
The E-Z Bat (by Monkey Business Sports) was invented by a dad, probably because he was tired of pitching then retrieving 5000 baseballs a day. It's a simple concept that works! Kids thread the firm, foam-rubber donut-shaped ball on the end of the bat. A little stopper keeps it in place and it's a base hit every time. If you want to pitch the balls, the stopper comes off and that works just as w...
