Buffalo Games: Hook & Ring Battle Game

We have been enjoying this game as a family. Giving it a four just for the structure side of things, it could be a little more sturdy

Pick up service was outstanding / acknowledge representative

dislike that the knot keeps slipping off of the ring

Great fun and everyone had a shot

Played during holiday break with family and friends and we used mini plastic shot cups instead of the mini black item the game has included and it was fun and we got a lot of laughs and a buzz! Literally *cheers *

If I had known it would be like assembling ikea furniture I wouldn’t of bought this. It’s annoying.

The whole thing moves as your swinging the rings which will mess up you and your opponent. the rings are hard to tie on. The hook on one side doesn't screw in all the way. Hard to adjust the length of the string perfectly.

Missing pieces when we received it

Easy set up and fun to play

It’s beyond hard to get the rings on the strings and then they kept falling off. It’s not as fun of a game as we thought. Should’ve returned honestly. Just kind of made cheap.

Great party game. Even the kids like it

Really cheaply made. The top had to be glued on and the string is fraying.

It's very flimsy. Had to be glued together to be able to play. We ended up just throwing it away

Last minute grab for my kiddo for Xmas, so he could play on Xmas with family. So fun for all!

MY BOX CAME WITH ANTS. They exploded out of the box when opened… help!

The strings weren’t attached to the rings. Folks saying open and slip inside the slit would n the ring… doesn’t work, the string frayed. Disappointed and don’t recommend.

game did NOT come with all the pieces needed and straight out just BORING

My 9 year old got this for her birthday! We have all had so much fun with this game. It’s fun for all ages.

I had literally zero issues with setting this up. I saw someone’s review with the string tied in a knot around the rings… uhm… It says absolutely nowhere in the directions to do that. The ring OPENS but just enough to pinch the end of the string in there. And for the person saying the hook was bent, yeah I’d be upset too but maybe take a hammer to it and just bend it straight? My boyfriend wants to buy wood glue and glue to base to the main center part because it does wobble a bit, but I personally have no issues playing with it. Pretty easy to figure out. It’s about technique or getting lucky— which is why this is a popular drinking game. The little black cylinder is typically a shot glass when you’re playing in a bar. I played this for over +20 minutes with my 6 year old and she was wildly entertained. We actually have it sitting behind a lamp on one of my tables downstairs and I plan on practicing whenever I’m sitting at the dinner table to try and get better or discover whether or not there is a secret technique. This does seem like a game that they could price at $10 and put in the Dollar Spot/Bullseyes playground though. It is slightly better quality but I’m just saying, I’m surprised I haven’t seen some cheap-o version of this game over there before. It’s literally just wood, some string and a few pieces of metal hardware. You could make this game yourself if you really wanted. Either way, fun game to have!

The instructions pretty much do not say anything about the ring being detached from string. And from the look on the box, the string is clasped in the middle of that slit in the ring. We tried tying it (won’t stay tight enough) plus the weight distribution would be off. So then we pried it open and got it in but it eventually slipped out. I emailed the company because I saw everyone had this issue. They told me it’s not supposed to come attached and sent me a picture that they tied it and it stayed together and sent me a video on how to do it… that has got to be the dumbest response I have ever received when the box& instructions both show or say it comes attached and does not say anywhere to tie the string around it. Just for that I want to return it and not even try it. The picture below is the response they sent me..🤦🏼♀️🙄 would probably have been fun if it actually came the way the box shows.
