Description of Blongo Ball Complete Game Set
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. The perfect tailgate game or a competitive contest for a summer lawn party, the Blongo® Family Fun BlongoBall Set includes 2 BlonGoals (racks) and 2 sets of three BlongoBalls. The object is to toss the two BlongoBall, two-piece golf balls attached to rope, on to one of the bars attached to the BlonGoal for a certain number of points.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.
Sports reviews of Blongo Ball Complete Game Set
Customer Review: Balongo is great!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The game Balongo (or Ladder Ball) arrived and it has been a real hit!! This set is very sturdy and resists tipping over as some of the less expensive sets will do. Everyone loves to play and I'm thinking of adding two other sets of balls so more players can play at the same time instead of just watching until it's their turn. Thank you Amazon for the free shipping, it really made my decision to buy from you. The game arrived very quickly and it has been a pleasure purchasing from your company!!Customer Review: Blongo Game Review

This is a fun, family game. It works best when it can be placed in the sand, i.e. beach, river, sand dunes. The only criticism I have is that the "carry box" is just cardboard and will probably not hold up over time, especially if it gets wet. It would be better if the container was a durable and sturdy nylon. I can see I will probably have to replace this box with a plastic container down the road. Overall, this can be played at parties, family get-togethers, etc.Customer Review: Blongo Ball Great Game...

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.Customer Review: Fantastic game for all ages

My husband has been looking for this game ever since he played it at a BBQ 2 years ago. He's had surgery on his shoulder twice so this game was much easier on him than horse shoes. I found it on Amazon, ordered it and surprised him with it today as an early Father's Day gift. We played 4 or 5 games while waiting for supper to cook on the grill this evening. Even Mom, who is almost 83, had a go at it. Very easy for everyone to play.Customer Review: Happy days

My family loves to play together and in searching for something new i found BlongoBall. What a treat. On each holiday we all gather (13-20 of us) at my house and after a bountiful dinner we search for family recreation. For years its been Bad Minton, horseshoe, croquet and in bad weather its various board games. We set BlongoBall up on Labor Day weekend and everyone had a bang up time playing. What a find. I highly recommend it.
