Description
This game combines wooden nesting boxes with classic bouncy balls to create an open-ended game the whole family can enjoy together. With a game suggestion on the side of each box, such as bouncing the ball on two boxes before landing it in a third or bouncing it off one box, over a stack of three, and into the box on the other side, you'll soon be inspired to create your own challenge courses. Families can challenge each other to do more difficult arrangements as everyone works on critical thinking, eye-hand coordination and spatial reasoning, while having a lot of fun! Includes 8 bouncy balls and 8 different sized boxes.
Publisher's Description of Box & Balls Game
Box & Balls. It's a rolling, bouncing, banking, stacking, nesting game!
With dozens of playing options, this classic-looking set of 8 wooden nesting boxes and 8 bouncy balls is awesome at home or away. Set yourself seemingly impossible challenges with the boxes; everything's more fun with bouncy balls!
Beginners might want to start with the suggested games printed on the sides of each box. But once you've figured out the basic play possibilities, there's no end to the play configurations!
Let's look at the challenge from Box 2: the Rolling Target Game. Simply set up the boxes in descending order, with the smallest upside down as a target basket. Looks simple, huh? But it takes a steady hand to succeed! Get the ball bouncing down each successive box and you'll know you won. The acoustic design of Box & Balls sounds like a wooden xylophone!
Play Box & Balls for family game night, too! Select a bounce game and use the numbers on the boxes for scoring; the smaller the box, the more difficult the shot, the higher the number. As the skills of small children and novice bouncy ballers grow, simply increase the level of difficulty just by decreasing target box size.
The myriad of game options appeals to all ages: from little kids just starting to test their hand-eye coordination, to college-age party games, to anyone who loves a skillful challenge! Play alone, in pairs, or even in groups.
Get rolling, get bouncing, get Box'n!
