Swing Shot Tower Review

Take your best shot when you play the new family-friendly game Swing Shot Tower. This tetherball-style tabletop game consists of a wooden tower with 14 plastic pegs on its bottom half and a ring attached to a rope on its top. You do have to assemble the game, which is easy to do, and everything comes apart to be stored back in the box when you’re done. Here’s how to play: players take turns swinging the rope around the tower, trying to hook the ring onto one of the pegs. The rope must wrap around the tower at least once. Sometimes it will land right on a peg. Sometimes it will miss a peg but start unwrapping itself and then land on a peg. That counts! If the ring lands on a peg, the player takes the peg. Obviously, the more pegs are removed, the more challenging the game becomes. You can play this game with two to six players, and the number of players you have determines how many pegs a player needs to win.
