Kan Jam Original

Such a fun game for all ages! Great for outdoors. Easy to assemble & play. Super easy to store. Pieces are great quality. Soooo much fun at any level.

A fun game. Made well. Would recommend

It happened on a day on the sandy shores of Fire Island. Water as refreshingly cool as drinking from a melting Greenland glacier. The sun will dry you off quicker than a bathroom air blower. A group of friends gathered, imbibed, laughed, joked, and played. And what did we play? Kan Jam, the game of champions. And what happened? A merciless battle between two evenly matched teams, consisting of 4 overtimes, ended with a brutally succinct Slotting (the Kan Jam equivalent of a text message break up). This might mean nothing to you now, but play Kan Jam, and you too will know the decadent endorphin spikes of an intense Kan Jam match. Kan Jam is simple. Made (I think) by two friends trying to making a game they could play while drinking, Kan Jam involves two trash can like bins that are placed 40 feet away. Each Kan has a slot in the middle and is open on the top on both sides. Teams of two, with a member standing behind each Kan, seek to defeat their opponents. A volley starts by a team member tossing a frisbee towards the opposing Kan. There are several ways to score. Hitting the Kan outright scores 2. Having your teammate deflect the frisbee against the outside of the Kan scores 1. Having your teammate Jam the frisbee into the top of the Kan scores 3. If you throw the frisbee right through the slot (aka you "slot it") or if you land the Frisbee directly down the chimney without anyone touching it....then it's game over. Frisbee then moves to the next thrower, and so on and so on. Game to 21. If you go over 21, you head back to 15. Having played sudden death a few ways, the best/most fun way I find is to do College Football style. Each person gets one toss. Highest score after those 4 tosses wins. In case of tie, it goes to double OT, triple OT.....This amplifies pressure to almost unbearable levels. It's a great concept and game play is awesome...you will have teammates diving around to deflect or Jam frisbees, it is fast moving and never boring. But the Insta-Win....there's the rub. What a tricky suspenseful thing to be able to win or lose at any moment. Is this what it felt like to walk the rubble strewn streets of Stalingrad, with enemy snipers roosting in every shadow filled crater? That any moment could be your last? That you must make this toss or this Jam count? Kan Jam separates itself from every lawn game and most drinking game. It is simple to learn and tough to master. But when you see skill, you know it. Real recognize real, and real skill shows itself readily on the Kan Jam field. Even still - two Ultimate Frisbee playing veterans can lose to a team of amateurs, because of the Unholy Witchcraft of the Slot. The very rules that constrain the game give birth to a majestic ambiguity; the Slot frees the plebeian. What did Alexander think as he stared across a field of fleeing Persians? What thoughts crossed the mind of the irrepressible Zhukov on the icy outskirts of Berlin? Victory is fleeting, golden sunshine peering through a blanket of clouds. Grasped but for a moment, seen for a second, an ape like figure retreating into the wilderness. What thoughts cross their minds, these heroes, these glorious victors? Victory can be had. Kan Jam is not for the autocratic blue bloods. Kan Jam elevates the snipers, the deflection physicists, the lucky. Anyone can play. Anyone can win. The art of fiction is dead. Kan Jam is alive.

Love Kan Jam! Such a fun game.

So ultimately the game was simple, fun and a great compliment to a recreation day at an Elementary School. We bought the seperate smaller discs for the set that seemed to be easier and more fun than the large frisbee provided for young children. It seems the adults had just as much fun when actually playing the game. The set was easy to put together, worked well in a small playground. However I purchased this for a free play area for a school event and did not organize a structured game--bad move on my part. When you have 50 plus kids from preschool to 7th grade together with supervision but no instruction (no organized game) it is like a product test lab of ways it can fail you. I put this to a test with a group that was at school at an event with their parents--this school is a magnet type school so it was not exactly the roughest group of kids you ever want to meet but....you would be amazed at how many ways that this product can be a danger. I know..I sat there and watched and was the big meanie saying NO to sitting in the can like it was a stool, putting the feet in slits and trying to kick it at another child, trying to roll down the hill in a can, trying to sumu wrestle with two kids inside. Needless to say there are tons of creative uses for this game that will end up with an emergency room trip and stitches if nobody is watching. If you send a bunch of six and seven year old kids to play this in the backyard and look a way for a bit --you might not see the "creative" uses for this toy that I witnessed in advance....

I LOVE KAN JAM!! This game is so fun for bbqs or any party or even just a backyard game of fun! Everyone always has so much fun when playing this game. The price here is much cheaper than going to buy it in store. It was super easy to set up, and it’s easy to store! Perfect summer backyard game for family and friends to enjoy!

We got this for our son for Christmas and I wasn't sure about this game. I questioned the quality and durability of the product and for that price, which was actually lower than in the stores, I was skeptical. But I must say, the quality seems to be good. What it basically is is two large plastic pieces that clip together at a seam creating the two buckets. It unclips fairly easily so it can be taken apart and stored after each use. The kids, ages 7-17, have been able to play several times and really like the challenge of it. I love that it gets them outside, keeps them active, and has them working as a team. The only thing that I don't like about it is that to keep it together it has to be stored in the box it came in. I would have preferred a bag or velcro type cinch strap to help keep them rolled up when not in use. I will probably end up making a couple of straps to hold it together for convenience's sake. Overall, the game seems to be a hit so I would say that is was worth the purchase.

Great game, seems pretty durable. It is smaller than I expected but I haven’t played it in a while to remember. The box was not shipped inside an Amazon box so the game box was scratched up.

Excelente y muy divertido juego

Attended a BBQ and someone brought this game along. We had so much fun, ordered one for ourselves. What a great game and even better, it's a real ice breaker when you don't know everyone at the party. Best not to play with your frisbee loving dog in close range. Comes in a box which is perfect for keeping your game in. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble. Even Tweens have a fun time playing it. Perfect game for the cottage.

We took this camping and it was a lot of fun! The cans are a little tricky to assemble and we felt that one of them got a little warped on the beach sitting in the hot sun. We were able to reset it for the most part. Comes with a pretty decent disc and it worked well in the sand because you were able to drive it in a bit to keep it upright. Overall great purchase, fun game and seems durable enough to last years.

とあるYouTubeの番組でやっているのを、子どもが見て欲しがっており、クリスマスプレゼントに今までは、ゲームソフトばかりでしたので、こういった物も良いかなと思い購入しました。輸入するからなのか、注文してから届くまで1週間以上かかりましたが、大人も夢中になる程ハマりました！ルールは簡単で、直に入った時の爽快感がたまりません。 しかし、プレーするのに約15m位のスペースが必要なのがネックかも。

The product itself (black plastic) is durable and heavy enough for the wind not to blow it down. It is shorter than I expected (thought the circle cans would be taller) but definitely looks like the pictures and works. Frisbee is great as it is thicker and helps with the game. Game is super fun and it being shorter doesn't affect the enjoyability. Only removed 1 star not because of the product or it being smaller. The box was ripped and broken when i received it, and there were scratches on the plastic cans. But overall this is higher quality than the cheaper versions and I'm happy with the buy.
