Capture the Flag

Objective

The aim of “Capture the Flag” is to be the first team to capture their opponents’ skittle (the flag). The first team to win best of five rounds wins the game!

Prepare the Battleground:

1. Split your playing area into two equal sides. To do this, place two ramps against a block on its side, and finally, a skittle upright on top of the block.
2. Use the diagram above as a guide or set up your playing area however you want.
3. Each player uses their own puck and places it near their flag. This serves as your starting point. 
4. Once the terrain is created, the pucks are placed, then battle can commence!

How to Play:

1. Flick a puck to decide which team will begin. 
2. Establish the order that your team will take turns.
3. Turns alternate between teams (for example: Team 1’s first player takes a turn, then Team 2’s first player takes a turn. Next Team 1’s second player takes a turn, then Team 2’s second player and so on…)
4. If another player is knocked out of the playing area, their puck is placed back at the starting point, ready for their next turn.
5. If a player knocks down their own flag by mistake, the flag is reset, but the opposing team gets an extra shot.
6. Each player has their own puck for flicking, ensuring fair play and individual participation in the game.

Defend your flag by sending wannabe attackers home or steam ahead to flag, flicking victory. The strategy is yours!
