The Admiral and I have been looking for a year for an RV game we could both enjoy and with visitors as well. I like cards but she doesn't. Neither of us like dominoes or Mexican Trains. Horeshoes too cumbersome.
A year ago when we first started RVing I remembered seeing a game being played beside a motorhome at Cherry Hill Park in Wash DC. At first just a few people were there. It caught my attention. Within minutes a large crowd gathered. The owners invited people to play on a challenge basis. For the next two days it became the main activity in the campground.
We have always looked for the game but could never find it.
This winter we saw a primitive version of it a fellow made using PVC tubing and golf balls. But it was not quite the same.
Last week we walk into Camping World and there it was. Only one of them left on the shelf so we grabbed it.
You flip these bolos about 10 feet or so and try to get them to wrap around horizontal rods. Top rod is 3 points, middle rod 2 points, bottom rod 1 point. You play to 21 and winner must be ahead by at least 2 points.
There is also an advance game that adds points for additonal rope wraps. We are content to play the basic game. Been raining last two days and I cannot wait to get back at the Admiral for revenge. She beat me both games we played, even though I snuck the game out and practiced for an hour beforfe she saw me. Grrrr.
