Questions we get asked at the picnic table

Which set should I buy first? The 57-block tower, unless you already know your lawn is big. It is the one that gets used most and the one that travels.

Can I leave a set outside? Overnight under cover, yes. Through a winter, no — the blocks will cup and stop sitting square. They belong in the bag in a shed or a garage.

What happens when it rains mid-game? Nothing immediate. Dry the blocks loose rather than stacked before they go back in the bag, or the bottom of the pile stays damp for a week.

Do you sell replacement blocks? Write to us with the set and the size and we will tell you what we can do. For a set bought through a listing, the seller usually handles this faster.

Is the toss game safe for children? With the throwing line moved in and an adult watching where the pin lands, yes. It is a thrown object and it behaves like one.

How long does a round take? Ten to twenty minutes for a tower, longer with dice in play. The toss game runs to fifty points, which is usually half an hour and occasionally all afternoon.
