Ladder toss is a popular outdoor game that involves throwing bolas, which are two balls connected by a string, at a ladder-like structure. The ladder has three horizontal rungs, each worth different points. Players take turns tossing their bolas, aiming to hook them onto the rungs to score points. The game can be played individually or in teams, and it is often enjoyed at picnics, barbecues, and tailgating events. Players typically set up the ladder at a distance of about 15 feet, and the first player or team to reach a predetermined score wins the game.
