Hookey

For a retail hookey set, compare the board layout, the rings and how the board mounts. Include the hanging method and scoring diagram in your sample brief. A clear rule card and a carton that keeps the rings with the board make the set easier to sell and use.

Start with the mounting location. A board for an indoor game room has different mounting and storage needs from a set intended to move between events. Ask to see the board, rings, mounting parts and printed instructions together in the sample. Check that players can read the scoring numbers from the throwing position and that the ring size suits the hook spacing. Confirm how replacement rings will be identified if you plan to stock the game over several seasons.
