Rings, Hot Whiskeys, and mild Megalithomania. Sure you’re not me? This post has a pic of my recently aquired Rings board: http://t.co/jPasdoOd I just need a few more Hoover belts.
Cheers, Mark

I believe rubber gaskets from beer kegs used to be the rings. Not sure if modern beer kegs still use the same ring. But, yes, Hoover belts were my first thought when I saw rings played.
Love the vintage ring sboard!

I don’t know of anywhere in the US, but here’s a link to an outfit in the UK that sells boards and rings:

People say the rings are or were gaskets from beer kegs, so you might want to check with any bar owners you know to see if that type of keg is still in use locally.

I’ve been looking for this game since I played it at a mystery pub tour when studying abroad in Ireland. I wish someone made these in the U.S. because I suck at making anything lol.

I was surprised to learn that the game of rings originated in Ireland, as I’d never heard that before. My memories of the game go back to late 1940s, when I was in my teens, and played it at home. The boards were home-made, my father made one, I remember. My grandfather told us that it had been commonly played in pubs, before darts became popular (this would have been early 1900s.) Grandad came from Pembrokeshire, then moved to Devon after he got married.
