I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
With Spring and Summer comes gorgeous outdoor weather and I just want to be in it as much as possible. I LOVE playing outdoor games whether it is with my kids or with a group of my adult friends. No BBQ is boring when you have the right games going. SeaTurtle Sports has a nice assortment of games that are not quite as common but oh so much fun. This time I got to try out Yazoo and I am officially hooked!
Yazoo is a toss game that can be played as a casual backyard game, tournament game or as a tailgating game. Yazoo is played by throwing a disc back and forth while trying to knock over a can or bottle that has been placed on top of a stick or pole. To completely brag on myself I took ultimate frisbee in college (yes it is a course and I got credit and a grade for it) and I am not bad. So of course I completely annihilated my husband and friends. I tried to keep the bragging to a minimum but I usually lose at games so it was a nice switch for me.
SeaTurtle Sports’ new version of the game, Yazoo, boasts quick assembly, portability, and a custom carrying case for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses and other essentials as well as all the game pieces. Yazoo’s one-piece telescoping poles give you the instant flexibility to play at any height ? no re-connecting or searching for pole parts ? and compress to 26 inches to become the perfect travel companion.? They also provide target cans with your set, but using the empties of your favorite beverage? (currently it is Not Your Father’s Root Beer for me) works just as well. I highly suggest playing by the tailing scoring that are suggested on the card.
This game is for 2 or more players (up to 6, 3 per team) ages 8+. The disc is thrown back and forth between two poles with empty cans set on top. When a team is on offense their goal is to knock the can off their opponent’s pole by hitting the can directly with the disc or by hitting the pole. When a team is on defense, players stand behind their pole and try to catch both the disc and the can if it is knocked off. Players alternate disc throws and score points by successfully knocking the can off the opponent’s pole with the disc and/or can hitting the ground.? The first player or team to reach 21 points wins the game.
Features Include:
- Two (2) telescoping aluminum poles
- Quick-twist locking mechanism
- 175 gram competition quality disc
- Two (2) durable can-shaped targets
- Laminated weatherproof rules
- Rubber boots to protect pole tips
- Custom carry bag with adjustable strap
Even if you aren’t good at throwing a frisbee this game is still a lot of fun. My husband is normally terrible at tossing the frisbee around but all of a sudden when a can, stick and drinks are involved his throws drastically improved. This game brings out my competitive side (in a good way). Please check out their highly informative and educational video below.
This is the ultimate tailgating game and a great game to take to BBQs and to the beach. It is extremely lightweight and easy to carry in the included bag. My husband has big plans to take it to his old fraternity house the next time he visits. When my husband loves a game as much as I do I know it is truly a hit.
