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. 5 stars The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 28 total votes: Review Date: 2007-08-28 "Blongo Family Ball Set" The box arrived very damaged and had clearly been sold to someone, returned, and then re-sold to us without being checked.

I would recommend this brand over some of the others. Best ladderball or redneck golf set I've seen for the money. 5 stars The following review received 2 helpful votes out of 2 total votes: Review Date: 2008-03-18 "Fun Game!" 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. 4 stars The following review received 2 helpful votes out of 2 total votes: Review Date: 2008-05-17 "Lots of fun for all ages" 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. 5 stars | |
