7 Reign Beginnings
7 Reign began designing the first "Cans Mat" in Milwaukee, WI. The Original "Cans Mat" was designed to provide Milwaukee Public School Students with a safe and fun activity that could be played indoors during the cold winter months. Most of the Students were already familiar with "Playing Cans" outdoors, so we brought the "Game of Cans" concept indoors by introducing Students to the "Cans Mat," which could be rolled out and played on using any indoor or outdoor flat surface!
Darlow Wank and Friends
In 1943, Darlow Wank and a couple of his friends from Milwaukee, WI were said to be the first people to crush a soda can and use it for the game we now call "Cans!" These young people out of boredom and the frustration of having limited play equipment, developed a game that everyone in the neighborhood could play. If you could hit your opponents "Can," you could play!
