Baloof is a sport in which 2 players, each weilding a Fisher Price plastic golf club, attempt to hit a balloon into the other player's area. The game was invented in the basement of a house in New Rochelle, NY by MichaelSimon and Ari Aranda. The first game of baloof was played on April 11th, 1993 between Simon and Aranda, a game that would have enormous implications around the seder table. It is not known when the final game of baloof was played, though no one has heard of an official game being played in over 10 years.
