Product Information
Boßeln is a team game played along a stretch of quiet country road: each team throws its ball as far as it can, walks to where it stopped, and throws again, and the team that covers the course in fewer throws wins. It is sociable, slow and outdoors, and this is the ball it is played with. It is a good game to bring a mixed group into, and that is worth saying plainly: the ball rolls along tarmac with a clear, continuous rumble, so a blind or partially sighted player can hear how far it has gone and roughly where it stopped without anyone calling it out. The throw itself is underarm and needs no target to be seen. 800 g of solid natural rubber at 115 mm across, with a matt non-slip finish and a small moulded WV mark. Red and blue are made so two teams can tell their balls apart. Made in Germany by KSG.
