Xoomball
Invented by 7-year old Eddie Boler
At the age of 7, Eddie set out to invent something fun that he could play with friends. He started by selecting materials to use and then built the game around those materials. He picked an air pump and ping pong ball and began to think about what to make. While thinking he began blowing the ping pong ball around the table with the air pump and the rest as they say is history.
Xoomball is a game of skill that uses ping pong balls and a game board board designed by Eddie with holes in it that the balls can fit into. The players move the balls around the board using the air pumps trying to get them into the holes for scores. Eddie has come up with several different game boards with the holes strategically placed on the boards to make the game challenging. On your mark...get set... start your air pumps!
