3 in 1 Tailgate Game
The 3-in-1 Tailgate game includes everything you need to play ladderball, washer toss and bean bag toss. Inside the box you will find the items listed below:
Two 33″ x 22.75″ Target Boards Play Bean Bag Toss on top, Washers on the bottom and act as the base for Ladderball
Two 23.625″ x 46”Ladders with Durable Color Coated Plastic Casing Scoring Bars
Two Steel Washer Scoring Rings
Six Golf Ball Bolos (3 blue and 3 white)
Six Weighted Washers (3 blue and 3 red)
Eight Bean Bags (4 blue and 4 red)
Instructions and game rules.
All components are stored within the Two Boards when locked together for Easy Transport and Storage. This wooden box has handles for easy carrying. Unfortunately, the first 3 in 1 Tailgate game we received may have been banged around too much in transport because when my husband picked it up by one of the handles, the side pulled right off and the game crashed to the ground and broke. The people at Sportcraft were amazing. They were apologetic and sent out a new game right away. This one was wrapped thoroughly in bubble wrap! We did not attempt to lift the full box by the handle again, but the game pieces have been carted around the yard quite a bit and I’ve even caught a child or two walking on them and nothing has broken.
We really love the ladderball part of the 3 in 1 game. The whole family enjoys it, and Kellen realized he is quite the skilled bolo tosser! Avery is pretty good at ladderball too, even if this particular video didn’t show all of her talents. It did show how much Griffin also enjoys ladderball, since he is screaming in the background about having his turn. We usually play in teams, making it possible for everyone to get a chance to win! Here is Avery showing off her skills, and no, the bolo stuck on the side didn’t count, lol.
The bean bag toss was a hit with everyone. I like this one for Griffin because it doesn’t matter how wild he gets with his throwing since bean bags don’t hurt! It’s a great game for all ages, and we simply adjust the rules to work for the toddlers and the bigger kids and adults. Avery was getting better at the game the more she tried, and I caught the very end of a great throw in the video below.
The washer toss is a little more challenging for the little kids, but worked great for the adults. Even though it’s tough, Griffin loves the washer toss. He stands directly in front of the game to throw them, and he gets great results! I stand the required distance for adults, and I can’t hit the target to save my life. Oh well, I am awesome at ladderball and I can’t be perfect at everything!
I particularly like these games because not only are they great for the backyard, but they are also great for taking places. We like to camp and the games are fairly easy to disassemble and reassemble for travel. Once stored inside the base pieces, the game can easily be slid under the van seats or laid flat on the floor.
Here is Avery’s video where she managed to score with the bean bag and I missed her throw. I did get the bean bag going in though!
