A Brand New Challenge For Friends & Family, Can You Canoff?

With the winter weather soon wrapping up we are looking forward to Spring & Summer and making the most of the warmer weather playing outdoor games with friends. This year you’ll see a new game being played in gardens, parks and beaches which combines teamwork, accuracy, and importantly cans!

 

Canoff is a brand new game which was first thought up and played by a group of friends on a summer holiday back in 2010. From there Canoff has gone through a few prototypes to become your favourite new game to play with your friends and family! The game is unique in that it doesn’t require the same amount of space that so many outdoor games need. With very little set up and the components coming in it’s own carry bag for easy transport and is easy enough to play for the majority of people of all fitness levels. 

 

The Rules

Something that sets Canoff apart from so many outdoor games is it’s simplicity, meaning you can dive straight into a game and start enjoying yourself immediately. The rules are simple!
The game is perfect for two or more players split into two teams. The aim of the game is to get to ten points. The Canoff poles are set up on their bases with the can on top and placed six to ten metres apart. Using the Canoff throwing disc in one hand with the other behind the players back, the teams take it in turns trying to either knock the opposing teams can off by hitting the can directly or by hitting the pole causing the can to tumble to the ground. Knocking the can off directly gets you two points, knocking the can off via a pole strike gets you one point. The opposing team is able to also gain one point if they are able to catch the knocked off can before it hits the ground, at the same time if you accidentally knock your own can off then you lose a point.

 

 

Depending on the group you are playing with you can set individual punishments for a bad throwing disc throw or drop catch such as a press up, a drink, you decide! The winning team is the first to reach ten points with the losing team having to perform a punishment. The rules are very easy to pick up and games can vary from family friendly to competitive party games with friends making it a must have this summer.

 

The canoff set is robustly constructed, being produced from quality materials including the cans being made from aluminium and the bases that the cans rest on having the ability to fit different types of cans and bottles. This summer treat yourself and your friends to a new challenge and for a limited time only get an extra set of Canoff cans when you buy the Canoff set from SkateHut here: https://www.skatehut.co.uk/brands/canoff.
