LADDER TOSS CLASSIC RULES 2-4PLAYRS
NOTE: If playing with 4 players, the additional players will stand next
to opposing team members.
Ladder Toss is played in rounds, each round consists of both teams tossing 3
bolas. The first player tosses their bola, then the player from the opposing
team (standing by the same ladder) tosses their bola. This continues until all
bolas are tossed. Bolas must be tossed individually underhanded and can be
bounced off the ground.
SCORING
Points are awarded for bolas that wrap completely around a ladder rung. 3
points for the top rung, 2 points for the middle rung, and 1 point for the
bottom rung. One team scores at the end of each round. The score is taken as
the difference of each team’s points for that round. For example: Player/Team
1 had one bola around the middle rung (2 points) and one bola around the top
rung (3 points) for a total of 5 points; Player/Team 2 had two bolas round the
bottom rung (1 point each = 2 points).
The score for this round is 5 – 2 = 3 points for Team A. The team that scored
the last round begins tossing the next round.
WINNING
The team that scores exactly 21 points at the end of a round wins. If any team
goes over 21 points at the end of a round, their points do not count for said
round and play continues.
10 WAYS TO PLAY
6-18
2-4
PLAYERS
Each player/team tosses all 6 bolas. Whichever team has the amount of points
closest to 21 wins!
15 TOSSES
2-4
PLAYERS Alternating turns after each toss, both players/teams toss their
3 bolas for 5 rounds and keep tally of points scored. The player/team with the
highest score after 5 rounds (15 tosses) wins.
L-A-D-D-E-R
2-8
PLAYERS
Similar to the classic basketball shooting game H-O-R-S-E, 1 player chooses
where they want to toss from and the rung they are aiming for. If their bola
lands on that rung, the other players must toss from the exact same location.
Any of the other players that do not land their shot get a letter. (The first
time they get a L, the second time, an A, etc. until they spell L-A-D-D-E-R
and then they are out). Any players that do land their shot do NOT get a
letter. If the original shooter does not land on the rung, the next player
will choose a location and shoot from there. Play continues until all players
except 1 spell L-A-D-D-E-R. The remaining player is the winner.
FIRST TO 50
2-4
PLAYERS Alternating turns after each toss, both players/teams alternate
turns tossing their 3 bolas each round and keep tally of points scored. First
player to score 50 or more points wins!
3 LIVES
3 PLAYERS Each player is assigned a different one of the rungs from the
ladder. That rung’s number is their number for the rest of the game. Write
down who is which number, and the number 3 next to it (for their number of
lives). Each player takes turns
tossing 1 bola. Players will target their own number until they have landed on
their own number 3 times. Then they become an ELIMINATOR. Once any player
becomes an ELIMINATOR they will then target the other players rungs. Each time
an ELIMINATOR scores on another player’s rung, the other player loses 1 life.
When a player reaches 0 lives they are out. There can be any number of
ELIMINATORS at any given time, and the last player remaining with at least 1
life wins.
LAST MAN STANDING
2-8 PLAYERS The first player tosses 3 bolas and tries to get the highest
score they can. The next person has to either meet or beat that score. If they
do, play continues to the next person after that who has to beat the 2nd
player. If the 2nd player fails to beat the score of the person before them,
they gets an “X” and the high score to beat resets for the third player. If
any player gets 3 X’s, they’re out. Last man standing wins.
LONG TOSS 2-4
PLAYERS Alternating turns after each toss, players/teams toss 3 bolas
each round from the distance of their choice. Those who tossed the bola from
the furthest distance away that lands on the middle rung scores the total of
all of their landed tosses for the round (even the ones not around the middle
rung). If nobody lands on the middle rung, then no points are scored. Players
alternate who goes first each round. First player/team to score 21 points wins.
COUNTDOWN 2-4
PLAYERS Each player/team starts with 30 points. The goal of the game is
to get exactly 0 points. Alternating turns after each toss, both players/teams
toss their 3 bolas each round and reduce their point total by their total
points landed in the round. The first player/team to score exactly 0 points
wins. If on a turn, your score goes below 0, then you do not reduce your point
total and play continues until someone reaches exactly 0.
CLIMB THE LADDER
2-8
PLAYERS
Alternating turns after each toss, both players / teams toss their bolas with
the goal of hitting the rungs from bottom to top in ascending order. Each
player must land their bolas on the bottom rung 3 times before moving to the
middle rung. Then they must land their bolas 3 times on the middle rung. And
finally 3 times on the top rung to complete climbing the ladder. First player
to CLIMB THE LADDER wins.
USE & CARE
The wood is sealed for a water and weather resistant finish, although it is
still recommended to be stored inside and not intentionally left in wet or
humid conditions to extend the life and beauty of the game.
