Taking the ‘Bored’ Out of Board Games
Box of Golf® a Beautifully-Designed Diversion
We’ve seen our share of golf games here, from trivia, to computer, to dice games, but we’ve yet to see one as classically beautiful and fun to play as the Box of Golf.
Don’t let the simple name fool you, the Box of Golf is a finely handcrafted board game complete with 18 holes, dice, gems and golf tees, and each “hole” was painted by artists David M. Bowers and Greg LaFever. The game features all the variables of the real thing, including wind, backspin and, of course, mulligans. And the cherry hardwood case and burgundy felt bottom of the deluxe edition help make this not just a pastime, but also a showpiece for any room.
