Portable Mini Golf?

At a Street Fair a few weeks ago, we ran into something we had never seen before.  It made sense, and has probably been around for many years.  But there it was: a selection of portable mini-golf courses.


There was a good variety of themes and designs, each about 6-8 feet long.  I found the nameplate of the company supplying the tables, but when I got home I couldn't find whatever receipt I had written it on.

The best match I can find is SD Pop Up Mini Golf - check out their site.  Both layouts shown above are on their gallery page here.  They have a system where you can rent a 6-hole or 9-hole or 18-hole course per hour for a minimum of 3 hours, with all kinds of sensible add-ons like custom score cards ($20 per 50) and an actual attendant on an hourly basis.

There are a lot of companies offering similar options for your neighborhood parties or fundraising events.  Not surprisingly, some of them can also bring over full cornhole tournament setups, giant chess, skeeball, and other outdoor games.

It's fun to think about all the possibilities.  The company where I work had an office party about a month ago where they had a cornhole tournament with four sets of two boards.  They also had a giant Jenga game which was scary, because when that thing came down, you could get fingers or toes banged up -- it was also so loud it freaked people out from twenty feet away.

We rarely find ourselves any place that has these kinds of events, but since I try to post about all the different ways that games find their ways into our lives, I figured I should report on these.

Ancient Games Book

Image
I had a former coworker contact me to say her mom had a weird book of old games, so we met up, and it turned out to be the classic Irving Finkel "Ancient Board Games" produced by the British Museum.  Dr. Finkel is a leading expert on ancient board games, and the book covers four classics: Senet, Mehen, Hounds an Jackals and the Royal Game of Ur.  The Royal Game of Ur is one of our favorites from this era, and was one of the first games I covered in this blog series.  I was familiar with the others, but never had a decent board to play on. The book comes with a little plastic tray with four throwing sticks and 8 playing pieces for each of two colors.  In each set, one piece is larger than the others, being the "lion" in the Mehen game. After dabbling with these games for about 45 minutes, we kept having problems picking up the perfectly smooth throwing sticks, and there was no clear distinction between the flat side and rounded side, aside from the subtle shape.  So

My Only Scrabble Tournament

Image
Here is something that popped into my head randomly while trying to sleep last night ... Back in the late 90's, I was in my one and only Scrabble tournament.  It was a local fundraiser at the Escondido Public Library.  My wife-at-the-time was on my team, and two close friends were a couple on another team.  There were about 30 players, and our entry fees went to a literacy charity. I won a few rounds, and as I recall I made it to the round where there were only 2 games being played.  So if there were 32 players to start, round two would be 16, round three would be 8, round four would be those two games.  That all adds up (in my head). My fresh opponent started by saying, "Let's not add up the scores each round, so we can focus on the game.  It's such a hassle." I didn't know if there was an actual rule against doing that, but I figured I could ignore the total score.  Why should those numbers affect my choice of words anyway? In the end, we did add our scores,

Hounds and Jackals

Image
Continuing with the book of ancient board games, the Hounds and Jackal board is gorgeous.  Every painted crack or chip in the supposedly wooden surface added character.  The original artifacts had holes in the board, and the pieces were little carvings of hounds and jackals on pegs.  Moving chips around the board was good enough to get the feel of it.  It's a simple race game, trying to get your pieces to the top of tree and off the board first.  There were no tricky rules for the throwing sticks.  You roll, you move. Since there were a few spaces with "slides", it's hard to not feel like you're playing a scaled down Snakes & Ladders game.  Some of these game ideas really do span most of human history.  There are also a few spaces with a little cross on them, where you roll again if you land there. The game was simple, and only took about 10 minutes.  This one had the most interesting set of variations discussed on the back page, since different boards have be
