The Best Backyard Games You’ve Never Heard Of.
ENTRY NO. 229
ROLLORS
What you need to play:
- 6 wooden rollors (3 red and 3 blue)
- 2 wooden pyramid-looking goals (1 red and 1 blue)
For those of you who prefer integrating a “games of chance” element in your yard games, check this one out. Rollors is a Frankenstein love child of bowling, bocce, and horseshoes all into one – with a lucky twist. Players roll the rollors (they kinda look like wooden hockey pucks) at the goal and points are awarded to the player/team that positions their rollors closest to the goal. Each rollor has a unique number on each side and whichever number faces up when the rollor falls determines your points. Rock & roll (Get it?…Get it?)! Check out this video on Rollors to see the game in action.
Fun fact: Rollors was dreamt up by Air Force Airman Matt Butler, while flying over Afghanistan and thinking about playing yard games back home with his family.
