Product Description
Want your camping trips, family reunions, RV trips or picnics to be a huge success? Then all you need is BlongoBall! BlongoBall can be played outdoors or indoors and is fun for families, physical education classes, team building games or any activity where you want to add a little spark of physical activity. BlongoBall is easy to learn and fun to play for any age from 5 to 105. Includes: 2 BlonGoals (Racks) 2 Sets of BlongoBalls (Yellow and Orange). This is enough for 2 players or 2 Teams. How to Play The rules for playing BlongoBall are simple and easy to learn. Officially the BlonGoals should be 25 feet apart, but one reason the game is so popular with so many different groups is that the distance between goals can also be closer. In a therapy setting or at an elementary school for example, the distance may be significantly reduced. BlongoBalls are thrown by holding one ball in your hand and swinging it slowly back and forth underhanded. When ready, throw the BlongoBall at the opposite goal releasing so the BlongoBall flies with a backward rotation. Points are scored when the BlongoBall hangs from one of the horizontal bars of the BlonGoal. The game is played until one person or team reaches exactly 21 points. You may throw a BlongoBall and knock your opponent's BlongoBall off of a horizontal bar. This removes the corresponding points from your opponent's total and is a legitimate defensive strategy.

 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.

The box arrived very damaged and had clearly been sold to someone, returned, and then re-sold to us without being checked.
It was missing parts and has been returned.
No word on when my money will be refunded to my account.
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.

My children were so excited to open this box. It was rather easy for the older children to put together (break down also was quick and easy with the included storage bag). We had several children visit our house and I got to see who enjoyed the game more. Although I would not recommend this game for the young children without throwing distance rule changes, the children who enjoyed the game the most were between the ages of 10 and 16 with the boys enjoying the throwing the most. The level of difficulty depends on the child's ability.
