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.

Customer Review: bango blongo loads of fun for the whole family
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The blongo ball set is by far the best quality set you can buy.I had done some research and the other games are cheap in quality.Amazon.com has the best bango for your buck.Everybody else wants to charge an additional $20 to $30 bucks.
I will have to buy an additional set for the kids so we can all play at the same time.
Customer Review: Great game while holding a drink
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This game has a short learning curve and so becomes fun very fast. Easier than lawn darts, and not as dangerous for all ages or wanderers into the area. It doesn't require a lot of area to play. Best of all, holding a drink in one hand is completely doable with a couple of practice throws. Perfect for a summer afternoon.Customer Review: Blongoball (Ladder Ball)
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I first played this game at a family reunion where ages ranged from 6 to 74 years and it was enjoyable for everyone. The price of Blongoball was more than some similar versions but we found it to be well worth the difference. The ladders are very sturdy; they are easy to set up and, later, to break down and put away.Customer Review: Must have item for the summer
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Blongoball set is the perfect backyard game for the entire family. It is easy to set up and not difficult to play. The soft balls bounce better if you are trying for the "big" score and the hard balls wind better for the consistent score. Take it camping or to the beach and you will be sure to make friends.Customer Review: Sturdy & Fun
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My daughter bought this for my husband for Father's Day. It is easy to assemble and is very sturdy. We had it out on two very windy days, and it did not even wobble. My only advice is to pay careful attention to the way it is packed before you take it out...it's quite a puzzle to get back in properly.
