May 29, 2017 - Tactic Games, the company known worldwide as maker of the popular Mölkky outdoor game, today announced that it is adding two new products to its outdoor activity line. Ready for Spring and Summer, Tactic Games launches its new Banana Kick and BAGit! games.
Tactic Games president Jay Knox, said, "We're adding to the playing field! Our new outdoor games are not only built for wholesome entertainment, but they also provide a great encouragement to get outside and get a little exercise."
The new games are:
Banana Kick (for 2 or more players ages 6+) features a large banana shaped kickball that will bounce in unpredictable directions, like a football, as players try to score goals against the opposing player/team. The trick in Banana Kick is that you can't actually touch the banana!
In BAGit! (for 4 or more players ages 6+) each team of two or more tries to transport their own bean bag into the basket at the opposite end of the playing field. However, when you hold your team's bag you cannot move, you can only pass it. Meanwhile, make sure the opposing team doesn't intercept your bag because that will send you all the way back to the start.
Banana Kick and BAGit!, join Tactic's other hot outdoor games which already include:
Mölkky, one of the most popular outdoor games in the world.
