This game is a lot of fun and provides some great laughs. The ramps are spaced 15 feet apart, so it can be played in a relatively small area. The game is played by four people at a time in teams of two. Basically, on their teams turn, one person is throwing two balls. They are trying to throw the ball directly into the nets for 3 points or get the ball to bounce toward the back of the goal for their team mate to catch for one point. The third person involved in the turn is a member of the other team who is standing at the same ramp as the thrower. Their job is to catch the throw after it bounces off the ramp (but stays in front of the ramp). It is nice that on every turn, 3 of the 4 players are involved at any one time. A turn doesn't take that long so I can't possibly imagine the person that is out would have an opportunity to get bored. It is surprising how much one can exert themselves chasing the thrown ball for 15 feet to try to get a steal. This would be a great game to play at the beach or on sand as it is quite easy for the people trying to catch the ball to hit the ground attempting to save a ball. I probably would not try to play this in a driveway for that reason but I am sure you can. But a lawn or sand is safer. The game balls appear to be racquet ball balls so if you need more you can probably grab a can of those - although you can order official Ramp Shot balls from their website.
Looked for an alternative option to Kan Jam and Corn Hole. This game fit the bill pretty nicely. I'm not going to explain how to play it, plenty of other reviews already go into that. I bought this primarily for a 10 day long camping trip with friends. We range from age 27-35 or so. Pretty much everyone enjoyed playing this. Simple to learn, simple to play but random enough due to the bounces that it's always interesting. Ramps seem sturdy and well built, balls and net seem durable. I like the fact you can put the balls in one of the pockets, place the other ramp on top and have a pretty compact game for your next trip.
I took one point away just because of having to assemble the pocket to the ramp. Not the easiest of assembly and was just kind of annoying that you still had to do that after paying that much for the game.
Overall, this is a great product. The ramps are rugged and look like they will hold up to a lot of abuse. My only complaint is that the nets were kind of a pain to put together so that they hang evenly all around. I wish that could have just been done at the factory. Otherwise, it only takes about 5-10 minutes to set-up and you only have to do it once. Would still recommend the product.
Love this game. I bought this for a housewarming party I had and had it set up in my back yard. No one had heard of this game yet but everyone was willing to give it a try. It was a big hit! We played it all afternoon and into the evening and just got more into it as we played it. It was truly a lot of fun!
We LOVE this game and everyone we introduce it to loves it so much they end up buying their own. It's so well built and totally worth the money. We even had a question with a scenario that happened and wasn't in the rule book. I emailed them and the owner directly emailed me back specifying the rule. I was so impressed and it helped end our family debate! 😊 Great game! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

Description
RampShot is a four player outdoor game that utilizes two high quality plastic ramps and four racquetball style balls. Teammates stand on opposite sides of the playing area and work together to score points by tossing and/or catching the balls. Three points for a shot directly in the net. One point if your teammate catches the ball on a fly after bouncing off the top of the ramp. If the shooter's toss comes up short and hits the front of the ramp, the ball will bounce back in the shooter's direction. The opposing team member can now come in and catch the ball to gain an extra shot for their team. The first team to 15 wins! Three out of four players are involved in every play keeping everyone on their toes and ready to make the big play. The grooves on the top of the ramp make for unpredictable bounces and highlight reel catches. This ultra-competitive game is completely unique and is great for the backyard or the beach!
Best thing I've ever ordered off Amazon. I asked my parents to join me and my brother to test it out and now they keep asking when we are gonna play again. It is much more involved and a lot more fun than cornhole. If you are on the fence about purchasing this definitely buy it, it is worth every penny
This game has quickly become our family favorite on the beach
This game is so much fun. I guess best way I'd describe it is a mix of corn hole and spike ball! It's fairly easy to learn and gets competitive with your friends. Perfect for a day at the beach or backyard. LOVE this game!
This game may look small but it is packed with big fun! Took it out to the beach with some friends and had a blast for the entire day! If you're looking for something similar to corn hole but a lot more fun, buy Rampshot!
Well received by son in law tried it in the garage but will need to wait for nicer weather to really try
