Castle Catapult

Objective

The aim of “Castle Catapult” is to be the first player to knock down all their opponents’ skittles by “catapulting” (flicking) over the wall.

Prepare for Battle:

1. Split your battlefield into two sections by assembling blocks, goals, and ramps into an impenetrable wall. Crossing to the other side requires flicking over this wall.
2. Place your skittles into groups around your playing area. In the diagram we’ve suggested you can set them up in groups of 3, 2, 1, but feel free to set them up however you want (for example: in groups of 2, 2, 2 or one big group…)
3. Each player places a ramp and a puck on their side of the wall, ready to aim and knock down their opponent’s skittles.

How to Play:

1. Decide who will begin the game. Players take turns trying to knock down their opponent’s arranged skittles.
2. On each turn, players can place their ramp and puck anywhere within their playing area to take a shot.
3. When a skittle is knocked down it’s removed from the playing area and not used again this game..
4. The winner is the first player to successfully knock down all of their opponent’s skittles.
