Football Toss is a
fame the entire family will enjoy. Players toss bolos at the rungs
and score points for each bolo that lands on a rung (each rung scores
different points). Each Football Toss game includes instructions,
6 football bolos (2 sets of 3), and 2 metal goal posts with football
field bases, and a carry case. Also available in a baseball themed
version.

Oh Football Toss you look like you'd
be so easy to play...and that is the kicker! But
before we get to level of difficulty, let's talk about
ease of set-up. Well...it's easy! Especially
when compared to other "bolo-ball" style games.
The metal goal posts and sturdy base make this set-up a
snap. Now...actually hooking a bolo? That
takes practice! But once you hit one - you'll be
hooked! So we'll stick with ease of set-up and
getting into the game to keep our stars high! |

With a sturdy base and metal post
we're happy to say there are no durability concerns here
at all! Other "bolo-ball" games that you have to
jam into the ground aren't quite as sturdy - but
Football Toss eliminates any of those concerns with its
base. |

Well it just looks like a blast!
And it looks like it should be easy to master!
So...one out of two isn't bad! But those two
factors - the fun factor and the anyone can play factor
keep Football Toss on the high end of Visual Appeal!
Bottom line...it really just looks cool! |

Football Toss truly is functional
for the world of "bolo-ball". The metal posts and
base make set-up easy, and the included carry bag keeps
transporting the game simple. As far as a tailgate
game goes - that is all the functionality you can ask
for! |

Football Toss isn't an inexpensive
item - licensed versions cost around $80 and generic
versions around $70. Now, it is sturdy and made to
last, so you aren't going to be tossing it out after a
couple of uses...but it is a bit pricey. |

Football Toss - or "bolo-ball" - is
a game that is catching on quickly in popularity at
outdoor functions, picnics and tailgates, so we can't
say we've never seen a game like this before. But
what we can say is the look is unique and the upgrade of
the sturdy base are true improvements on the original.
And those improvements alone are enough for four stars
from us! |

The first thing you'll notice is
that Football Toss is easy to set up. The next
thing you'll notice is just how difficult it is to
actually play - and how addicting it is!
Football Toss is made well, and they didn't just
copy the original game, they improved upon it.
Pricing is a bit high, but if you can afford it,
Football Toss is the perfect addition to your
picnic, back yard or tailgate! |
