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: Fun Family Game!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We purchased this game to take camping, but have been enjoying it in our yard with the neighborhood (both kids and adults!). We have 5 and 6 year-old boys who love it. I just ordered the padded balls, though since the golf ball style is a little dangerous for the younger ones. Super fun overall!Customer Review: Great Game!

Bought this after reading the good reviews as we have a big backyard party every Memorial Weekend.
THIS game was the hit of the party! Seriously! Very easy to set up and the rules are simple.
The ONLY downfall is that we could not figure how to put it back in the box! A GREAT game!!!
Customer Review: Wow - a backyard requirement!

Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was more than pleasantly surprised! Fun, easy to set up and play, and each game is different so it never gets boring. Also transcends all ages. As much fun for the 10 year old as for the centegenarian. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.Customer Review: Tons of fun!

We are adding to our backyard games for when we have company and people like this game. Our neighbors made something similar out of pvc pipe, rope and golf balls and that was fun so when I saw these for sale, I snatched up a set and also ordered extra bongo balls too.Customer Review: Great game for everyone

My friends have been playing a home made version of this, which we call "horse balls", for the last two years. Purchased this version for a party and it has been excellent. PS Don't press down too firmly on the top because you may break the corner elbow connector.
