Baggyball again, Elephant, Giraffe, Big Booty, and Living Foosball, too.

We got to play Baggyball at the Junkyard Sports training for the City of Cypress (CA) recreation department. Among other games, of course. Like, oddly enough, Elephant, Giraffe (which we played and played until we had, in addition to the elephant and giraffe, a rhinoceros, a cell phone, YMCA, SpongeBob SquarePants, the Three Monkeys, and Charlie's Angels), and Big Booty.

Meanwhile, back to Baggyball, the first thing that became obvious was that it was significantly fun. It was just the kind of game that was clear enough for people to start thinking about making better. Next, there was some reluctance to have "running baskets," so we played with baskets who could move, but were limited to a narrow zone. The "dribbling up" rule, of course, was clearly the only way to play (given the unbouncable nature of the baggyball).

And then there was Living Foosball. Which turned out to be remarkably fun. We only had ten players, so each team had a goalie and two "rods" of two players each. There were implied penalties for "going off rod." The goals had to be widened mid game. Much fun. Much fun in deed.
