For those looking for a simple and challenging tabletop game, ‘The Change Quarter Bouncing Game’ is more complicated than it seems. The wooden game set was created by Nick DeMarco and Dave Lumia, two friends who, according to their maker description, “decided to create one of their own that would encourage quality time among its players--and less time looking at screens.”
The Change Quarter Bouncing Game is played by bouncing quarters off the launch pad to get them into the opposite hole. The game seems easy but gradually gets increasingly difficult as players move the launchpad further away.
Its compact design is perfect for on-the-go gaming and easy storage. Tabletop game enthusiasts can buy the game on the Uncommon Goods website.
