My wife and I made a similar game where we used a large bouncy ball. One could break it up into as many teams as they like (generally four or two) and the ball had to bounce twice before hitting the other teams base. Toilet paper rolls and sour creme lids helped as participants got to build their base and hide their men before the game started. Makes a great indoor activity.
