How to Play: Ball and Chain Toss

The goal is to wrap your "ball and chains" (bolas) around the ladder rungs to score points.

Take Your Positions: Stand about 15 feet (or 5 adult paces) from the ladder.

Toss the Ball and Chain: Players take turns tossing their three bolas, one at a time.

Scoring the Hitch:

  • Top Rung = 3 Points (Honeymoon Suite)
  • Middle Rung = 2 Points (To Have and to Hold)
  • Bottom Rung = 1 Point (Something Borrowed)

Winning the Bouquet: Play rounds, adding up your score as you go. The first person or team to get exactly 21 points is the winner!
