Lawn Pong
Like beerpong, but bigger … and on a lawn. Did we find this game at a college for giants? Maybe.
Equipment
- 12 bins (6 green, 6 white)
- 4 mini basketballs
Setup
- Teams of 1 or 2 players each
- Pyramids of 6 bins each are arranged on each end of the lawn
- Each team gets 2 balls
- Teams play from opposite sides
Objective
- Sink ball into a bin to remove the bin
- First team to remove all their bins, wins
House Rules
Start
- Flip a coin to decide who goes first
Play
- Teams take turns taking two shots
- Players throw or bounce the ball, trying to land it in a bin; shots must be taken from behind the team’s pyramid
- If the player lands their shot a bin, the bin is removed by the opposing team
- If both players on the team make their shot, the team gets both balls back for an extra turn
Scoring
- The team to remove all of their bins first, wins
- However, when a team removes their last bin, the opposing team gets both balls back and one more turn to attempt to tie the game
- If more than one bin is remaining, the opposing team must shoot without missing until all bins are cleared in order to tie
- If the opposing team ties, three (3) bins are re-racked in a triangle on each side for a tiebreaker round
