Let me set the scene, two exhausted new parents are struggling to entertain their very fussy teething baby. It's been a long day for Mama who's been home with the babe and Dada's home from work. These parents are so in love with their wonderful little one, but miss their old life of leisure too. This evening everyone's feeling a bit cranky and slightly overwhelmed. But Dada's got an idea! He grabs an egg carton from the recycling and the pom poms the babe loves to play with. He passes half to his wife and challenges her to see who can get 3 in a row first. Mama and Dada find that this is pretty challenging and actually quite fun. The little guy thinks this is great fun too, he is chasing after pom poms, picking them up and running off with them. And thus Goof Balls was invented. With lots of testing and considerations of the rules we think we have made the best whole family game that's out there. We hope your family has as much fun with it as we had creating it.
