Why We Invented Spoon Balling
"As a busy dad, I often get frustrated that the younger generation can easily remember all the complex rules, but I just want simple games. This idea was born out of my own frustration—when my kids ask me to spend time with them, I genuinely want to, but I prefer something simple and stress-free, not another complicated game with pages of rules. What we really need is a simple, fun game—something like Snakes and Ladders, but with a short, soccer-style twist."
Perfect for Busy Parents
Designed specifically for working moms and dads who want to spend quality time with their kids without the stress of complicated rules.
Quick Setup
Set up the game in under 2 minutes. Just place marbles in alternating pockets and you're ready to play!
2 Simple Rules
Only two rules to remember! Marbles must pass the 3rd pocket, and clearing a pocket earns you a batch.
Quality Family Time
Increases focus and creates meaningful moments between parents and children without overwhelming complexity.
Easy to Learn
No pages of rules to memorize. If you can use a spoon, you can play Spoon Balling!
Engaging Competition
Strategic gameplay with the satisfaction of earning batches as you clear pockets and work toward victory.
Backup Friendly
Lost the spoon? No problem! Any table spoon works perfectly as a replacement.
