Rollors is a fun new outdoor game that offers a creatively unique alternative to traditional lawn sports for your end-of-summer backyard barbecues.
In the game Rollors, players roll wooden disks, similar to oversized hockey pucks, toward a color coded goal 25 feet away. Points are awarded to the player/team that positions their disks closest to the goal.
"This is a game that people of all ages can enjoy together and can be played in teams or as an individual competition," says Matt Butler, Rollors inventor. "What really amazed me is how fast the game really caught on."
Butler came up with the concept for the game while serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his down time while serving in combat operations, Butler sketched the game pieces, created the rules and even brainstormed his business plan.
Rollors features hardwood pieces and a carrying case to protect the craftsmanship of the game.
A Rollors set sells for around $26 in retailers like Menards
and Meijer
nationally, as well as on the company website: www.rollors.net
