Seeing as everyone is talking/scrutinizing the draft and picks, we turn our blog today to those fascinating Incredible Technology games that are at all your favorite watering holes. You know: Golden Tee Golf, Silver Strike Bowling, and the newest member Tournament Bag Toss; cornhole video game in lamens terms. Our mission today is to discuss which is the best value for your buck, gambling outlets, and most importantly the "beer ...(frame, hole, inning etc.).
To start we'll go to the veteran of the group Golden Tee Golf. You can buy in for a dollar and get three holes or pony up four bucks and play all 18. Depending on how many players involved this one can be a time consumer, which cuts down on your opportunity to chase tail gentelman. The idea is to get the most for your money, so this would be the proverbial nail-on-the-head for you. Not to mention the cool new features that allow you to customize the golfer, the intense breaks of the green, and the overall competitive factor. Add in a bet for the whole round, play skins, or have every third hole be a beer hole and you've got yourself quite the competition. I give it a 8 out of 10.
Next on our agenda would be the ole ten pin, Silver Strike Bowling. In this Incredible installment you can play three frames, a whole ten frame set, or a three game series; with prices ranging from .50 cents for the three frame all the way to $2.50 for the three game series. With up to eight players, it can get quite hard to keep everyone's attention for the whole 10 frames. With fifth frame being the "beer frame" the thin line between choke and clutch is walked. Also for you card sharks out there the Vegas game is right up your alley, no pun intended. High score, best poker hand, and most marks are all good ways to add your own brand of hot sauce to the mix. Plus the games tend to go by fast if eveyrone is on top of their turn. I give it a 9 out of 10.
Lastly we come to the new kid on the block, Tournament Bag Toss. In this slight deviation from traditional corn hole, the mega pixel version features a bevy of options. Up to four players can be in the mix, with three distictly different ways of tossing said bags. There is the flop shot, the slide, and the bounce, with an additional choice of raising or lowering the angle at which you want to throw the bag. The point system is that like regular corn hole, but slightly different. The same rules go for on the board and in the hole, but there is an added two points for everybag you send that's nothing but hole. They even tack on points depending on how many you get in a row. The only downside is that they play by innings which is sacrilage because everyone knows there's no innings in cornhole. I give it a 7 out of 10; but that could change depending on how good I become.
