BAS-KET (1938)

About this game

Players use spring-loaded levers to pop the ping-pong ball "basketball" up in the air and through the opponent's hoop. Scoring is the same as real basketball. Playing field is dimpled to coax the ball towards the levers. Levers are angled to shoot the ball at the hoop.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
