New Game to Play: STICKZEE!
by thedayofgames on Jul.27, 2010, under Products, Uncategorized
Ever played Polish Horseshoes? Now you can buy a new polish horseshoes game from The Day of Games. It’s called Stickzee! It comes with 2 adjustable platforms (3 sizes), 1 175 gram professional disc (ultimate quality), a carrying case, 2 koozies, and a bottle opener. This is a great game. It’s pretty simple to play too. All you need to do is stand behind your Stickzee platform and throw the disc at your opponents platform. If you can knock over a can placed on top of the platform, and it hits the ground… 2 points. If the disc is “catchable” and the opposing team fails to catch the disc…. 1 more point! Throw back and forth until 1 team hits 21. It is also customary to hold a drink in one hand so that only the other can be used for catching and throwing. Some people call this game polish horseshoes, or frisbeer, or beersbee, or spanish horseshoes, or all kinds of names. Now you can buy a Stickzee set and go play!

Bocce League in San Diego
by thedayofgames on Mar.24, 2010, under Uncategorized
Is this a search for an awesome San Diego Bocce Ball League? Lucky you. I have the answer. Google brought you here. Congrats. If you want to play bocce with other your people in a rec league setting — you should join the DogDaze Leisure Sports League. This rec league is for 20 and 30 Somethings and is currently in its 2nd year. Last year the bocce games were played in Pacific Beach on the sands on Law Street – overlooking the pacific ocean and the sunset… but this year the venue will likely be moving to Kate O Sessions. Although there will be no beach bocce sunset play, there is now the fun of playing bocce on grass. So the DogDaze leagues aren;t exactly just a bocce league, they include Bocce, Horseshoes, Cornhole, Ladder Toss, and a bunch of games that generally involve throwing things at other things. This is truly the best setting to relax after work. This is an alternative to the VAVI Sports League that you were in last year. Its not competitive kickball. Its just a bunch of people, hanging out, having a good time, and then all going out to a bar together. Happy hours in San Diego are always a good time.
This sound good to you? Check out – Dogdaze Leisure Sports Leagues.

If you enjoy OTL in San Diego then you are the kind of person who will enjoy the SD bocce league. Meet new people in town, make new friends, have fun with your current group of buddies. The Dogdaze games are so simple – EVERYONE CAN PLAY THEM.
This is also a pretty cheap rec league in San Diego. For under $50 bucks you get to leave the house and enjoy your time after work!
Bocce Ball League in San Francisco
by thedayofgames on Mar.24, 2010, under Uncategorized
Are you looking for a San Francisco Bocce Ball League? The best advice I can offer is for you to look into the Dogdaze Leisure Sports Leagues. This new league in San Francisco will be played at a park near The Marina. There may be other bocce locations in other parts of town, but right now the bocce games will be played at the park — overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. How sweet is that? This league is different from other bocce leagues since bocce isn’t the only game being played. Dogdaze Leisure Sport Leagues include other tailgate games so there is something new and exciting each week. This rec league is about 7 weeks long and is UNDER $50! If you are sick of bocce then the next week is horseshoes, and then cornhole, etc. San Francisco rec leagues are always a good time and this is totally different than that kickball league you were thinking of joining.
You wanna sign up? Check out - Dogdaze Leisure Sports Leagues.

One of the great things about joining a SF bocce league is that you can meet new people in the city and this is a game that EVERYONE can play. How hard can it be? All you need to do is throw a big ball at a little ball. Sooo simple.
This rec league is pretty cheap compared to the other options in San Francisco. Why shell out $75 for a dodgeball league or kickball league… when you can just go out and play bocce ball! Its way easier to actually meet people, talk about things, and less physical play is required.
Throwing things at other things is just easier! Come out and join the SF Dogdaze Leisure Sports League. Bocce ball is one of the featured sports. New rec league in San Francisco – come have fun!
Bocce Ball League in Los Angeles
by thedayofgames on Mar.24, 2010, under "Dog Daze", Uncategorized
Want to join a Los Angeles Bocce Ball League? What you should probably do is check out the Dogdaze Leisure Sports Leagues. The league in Los Angeles has been around for a couple years and they play on the sand overlooking the Pacific Ocean. How could this not be fun? The league isn’t like other bocce leagues where you play the same game over and over again. The Dogdaze league includes many other tailgate sports so you don’t get bored playing bocce. Each week you get to play a new game that involves throwing something at something else. This is the Los Angeles Rec League that you have been searching for. The league takes place in Marina del Rey which is next to Venice Beach, close to Santa Monica, and nowhere near Hollywood. Joining is easy. Just go to Dogdaze Leisure Sports Leagues. 
The best part about joining a bocce team is that the game is so easy. How tough could it be to throw a big rock at another little rock. Playing bocce on the beach makes it even easier. There is no rolling which is what makes playing bocce on the grass so difficult. Bocce is actually a super popular game among those who frequent the beach a lot and enjoy playing beach sports. This LA Bocce League is great to meet new people in the area, or just go relax with your buddies. What could be a better thing to do in LA than go to the beach and watch the sunset.
So check out the Dogdaze Leisure Sports Leagues. Bocce is one of the featured sports!

Tailgate Games Tailgate Approved
by thedayofgames on Dec.11, 2009, under Products, Uncategorized, tailgating
TAILGATE GAMES: You NEED them!
Football - If you are heading to a football game, this will get you in the right mindset. NFL games are great, college games are awesome, but what about the little football game you can play while waiting for your meat to finish up on the grill. 2 hand touch, tackle, whatever. Just play football before watching football.
Cornhole (Bags) – Throw the bean bag into the hole. Too damn easy. If it’s so easy why doesn’t the bag go in every time!? Cornhole is amazing at tailgates because its something children can play, drunk college kids can stumble through, and even grandpa tailgater can join the fun. Most home-made sets are 2ft x 4ft but there are also short-board cornhole sets that are lighter and easier to transport. The cornhole bags each weigh about 1 pound and are filled with whole-kernel corn. Cornhole games can get intense due to the scorekeeping, so be prepared to battle. 
Bocce - Heave big ball at little ball. Well, the big balls are called Bocce Balls and the little white one is called a Pallino. Bocce games are great at tailgates since it’s so easy to play bocce with one hand, and hold your beer with the other. A good tailgate set is probably a lighter version so that it doens’t hit anyone in the legs and inflict some damage. 100mm Bocce Balls are a good size. Don’t tailgate today without a bocce set in your vehicle. 
Horseshoes - Tough for crowded tailgates, but if you are on a nice spread out lawn… set up the shoes! Horseshoes is one of the ultimate leisure sports so it has to be played at tailgates when possible. Keep your horseshoe throws under control and keep an eye on the stakes. Don’t set this game up near drunk people who may fall over into the field of play. Enjoy a horseshoe game the next time you go tailgating. 
Ladder Toss - What a great tailgate game. It has a zillion names (ladder balls, hillbilly horseshoes, hillbilly golf, testicle toss, lasso golf, redneck golf, dingle balls, chinese golf, monkey golf, monkey balls, beer nuts, and even a trademarked version – ladder golf). Many people have followed “build your own ladder toss” instructions and have created some pretty good sets. The tough part is generally the golf balls to create the Bolas. Ladder Toss is great at tailgates because it is a relatively new tailgate game so people love coming over and giving it a shot, or at least watching your game. If you enjoy an audience and exploring new lawn games – give ladder toss a try. 
Beersbee - Another new-comer to the tailgate scene. This game also has a few names (Beersbee, beersbie, frisnock, beerzbee, beer frisbee). It is pretty simple to play, all you need is a frisbee (ultimate disc) and a couple of sticks. If you want an official set you can buy one here of course. Otherwise you just place some cans on some sticks and try to knock them over. I don’t want to get into the beersbee rules here, so you will have to read all about it another time. Perfect tailgate game to play! The ultimate disc can be used outside of the beersbee game just to toss around and have a great time. It can also be played all over the tailgate area and it fits nicely in the back of your shirt so you can just waltz right in the stadium. Try and hide a football in your shirt and you will understand!


Beer Pong - The old beer pong tailgating is starting to migrate from the college ranks up to the pro-tailgating scene. Cups, beer pong balls, a beer pong table and beer. So easy. No excuses as to why you don’t have beer pong at your tailgate. Beer Pong tables are now foldable! They fit right in the backseat of any car, not just trucks or SUV’s, ANY car. An 8ft table will fold up to 2 ft. Amazing. Where has the foldable beer pong table been my whole life!? Well, I am glad it’s here now and beer pong tailgating is officially here to stay. You don’t need any beer pong rules, just throw the little beer pong ball into the cups. Drink. Repeat.


Koozies and Openers - I know koozies (can coolers) and bottle openers are not a tailgate game, but you need to be able to open drinks and then keep them cold while you are playing games… so get them! Or better yet… koozies and an opener come FREE with every Day of Games purchase of game gear. So you are set. Lucky DOG.

California Cornhole – its coming to the west coast!
by thedayofgames on Nov.21, 2009, under Products, Uncategorized
Just finished meeting with folks all over California from San Diego, through Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and all the way up to San Francisco. One thing was made crystal clear. CORNHOLE has arrived in California! All the leisure sports gear I have shown people has received great feedback, but Cornhole in particular has received the greatest amount of love. Of all the tossing games that are popular at tailgates. This tailgate game is the one that everyone enjoys. I have heard about Cornhole tournaments, Cornhole leagues, and people that have visited “make your own cornhole” websites and even made their own. Cornhole boards are simply made of plywood and the bags are made from duck cloth. So it isn’t too hard to make it yourself… but I like to leave it to the professionals. If you are new to the sport, its time to buy your own cornhole boards today. See you out there.
