THE STORY BEHIND THE BEAN BAG BUCKETZ GAME
The Bean Bag Bucketz game was born at the Jersey Shore beach while its creator Anthony was on vacation with his family. During one day of their vacation, his kids were bored and tired of the beach. That’s when Anthony came up with a fun way to entertain his boys. He did so by placing large shells on the end of a stick and had his kids tossing small seashells to knock off the bigger shells. Hours later, they all agreed that they had created a fun and entertaining game, which became their go-to game for the rest of their vacation.
Once back at home, Anthony couldn’t get their seaside fun out of his head. He worked through countless iterations until the concept of Bean Bag Bucketz finally came to fruition. After connecting with Philipp, his new partner who has some serious experience in the toys & retail world, the duo came together to develop this great social nonstop on-the-go game.
Now, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at the B3 Bean Bag Bucketz, see exactly how this tossing party game is built and designed to work, and go over the few rules that involve playing it.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the game unit itself, the B3 Bean Bag Bucketz consists of a tall game tower equipped with a large tripod base at the bottom integrated with anti-slip tips made of hard-plastic that keep it perfectly stable at all times.
The game’s tower unit is designed to be both lightweight and ultra-portable, making it easy for you to take it with you and quickly set it up anywhere, whether you’re at home, in your backyard, at your college campus, at the beach, while you’re tailgating, camping, or anywhere else you feel like tossing.
The B3 Bean Bag Bucketz’s game tower also packs a durable construction, as it is built of high-quality TPU plastic.
Integrated throughout the game tower’s pole, there are also a total of seven (x7) removable bucketz of different sizes and heights that are numbered with different point values.
The game’s removable bucketz can be tightly secured to its tripod tower by placing them onto a set of bucket holders already come integrated onto the tower.
For players to score points, the B3 Bean Bag Bucketz comes with a total of eight (x8) yellow and eight (x8) blue bean bags made of a high-quality fabric, which players are meant to toss into the bucketz.
Best of all, each B3 Bean Bag Bucketz game set also comes together with a dedicated carrying bag for easily storing the set’s tripod game tower, its buckets, and all the 16 bean bags, making it easy for users to transport the game with them to wherever they want.
HOW TO PLAY? (RULES & GUIDELINES)
As mentioned before, the B3 Bean Bag Bucketz basically consists of a bean bags tossing party game. The objective of the game is for each player or team to toss their bean bags into the bucketz from the game’s tripod tower, which are worth a different amount of points based on their size and height (plus the skill needed to land those throws), and The first player or team to reach 21 points wins the game.
The tower’s bucketz decrease in size as they increase in height, which makes them worth one more point in comparison to the bucketz directly below.
As an alternative to using bean bags, players can use ping pong balls if they’d prefer, as those can be bounced onto a table before landing into one of the bucketz.
Main Rules
The game only has three main rules to follow, which are:
1. Bucketz Scoring – For any bean bag that’s tossed into a bucket, that player (or team) will receive the points value that is displayed on the side of each bucket, which can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 points, depending on the size and height of each bucket.
2. Cancellation Scoring – The approved method for scoring cancellation is the difference between the total points of each player or team. For example, if the blue team totals 5 points and the yellow team totals only 3 points, then the blue team would receive exactly 2 points for that round (i.e. the difference in points between the highest scoring team and the lowest scoring team).
3. Rim Shots – This rule refers to if a bag lands on the side of a bucket and remain in that position at the end of the round, for which that bag stuck on a bucket’s rim would only be counted as 1 point regardless of the real point value of said bucket. Still, players of the same team could try to land an additional bean bag on the same bucket in order to push that bag that’s already stuck into the bucket as well.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Inside each package, users will find: a tripod game tower, 7 bucketz, 8 yellow bean bags and 8 blue bean bags (x16 in total), and the brand’s Bean Bag B3 Bucketz carrying bag.
