Washer Toss Game Review

The washer toss game is another type outdoor tossing game that they whole family will love. It looks relatively easy especially when you see that the boards are only ten feet apart. But there is a certain amount of skill and strategy involved. Now don’t let that scare you into thinking kids can’t play, because they actually do quite well.

My family prefers the three hole washer toss game. The rectangular box is usually covered with some type of carpet. That causes the washer to slide on the surface. This is where strategy comes in. Often times you are able to get washers to slide across the carpet and into the proper hole in order to score 21 points for the win.

The disadvantage of this style of washer toss game is that it doesn’t pack up as easily as the bulls-eye style. But I have found that you can turn them right side up and use them to store or carry our supplies. That way it doesn’t matter that they don’t collapse or fold up.

The other kind of washer toss game I have seen and we have played is the bulls-eye style. There are single bulls-eye and double bulls-eye as well as an octagonal bulls-eye. These are essentially a box with a cup in the middle. The object is the same, first player to 21 wins. Points are scored by either getting your washer into the box (1pt.) or the cup (3pts.)

The advantage of this style is that manufactures often make the washer toss game to clasp together for transporting.

Whichever style you prefer I know your family will love playing the washer toss game. And if you are worried about kids and throwing washers, both games can be played with bean bags instead.
