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.

Better than bocce with unexpected "action" June 4, 2007

We created a nearly-regulation, turf bocce ball court when building a new home a year ago, but for this last Christmas I hunted for other lawn games that would fit a 10' x 60' grass area. I discovered BlongoBall on the internet but later happened to find it at Costco (they have everything some time or another). This last weekend was hot in Seattle, so we christened the new court with bocce and Blongo. Well, Blongo won the fun contest! This is a very easy game to learn and play -- and it brings unexpected surprises as the Balls hit the goal, spin around the rods, and end up who knows where. What may appear at first to be a winning throw might finally just drop to the ground. And, what might at first be a 1-pointer can spin to the 2-point rung, and then drop unto the bottom, 3-point rung. In a close game, this animation can generate great hoots and laughter. My wife, not a competitive type, really enjoyed beating me in a three game set, and she set a "home court record" with 10 points in one turn - getting the benefit of an errant toss that bounced off the ground before ending up on the bottom rung. A 5-pointer! with other balls on the 3- and 2-point rungs. The final rubber match score was 21 to 20. Blongo is about as much fun as horsehoes but without endagering property and life from chunks of heavy metal flying about.

This is a very sturdy & well balanced set. I would recommend this brand over some of the others. Best ladderball or redneck golf set I've seen for the money.
Lots of fun for all ages May 17, 2008

Bought this after playing the same game by another manufacturer. The quality of this one is very superior to the other one. Our grandkids aged 4 to 6 love it, as do the the adults. I would definitely recommend it for all ages.
Blongo Ball Great Game... June 29, 2009

The Blongo Ball game I purchased was better and stronger than the original ones I purchased through WalMart and Dick's. They both fell apart as you played but the Blongo Ball version played strong even with kids who have a tendenciy to play the game a little rough. I give this version 5 STARS and would recommend it. The price was also better than the one I bought from Dick's which was equivalent to the cheaper on I got from WalMart, both being Skilcraft products.
Love it! July 12, 2008

I don't normally go for yard games, but this one looked like so much fun, I had to try it. I played at a friends and immediately started searching for my own. I now have the game and everybody loves to play!
