Objective:

The objective of “KUGO Flick Pétanque” is to score points by flicking your pucks closest to the target goal block.

Setup:

  1. Place a goal block on top of the target card in the centre of your playing area, this is the “Target block”.
  2. Split three pucks evenly between the players. Each player or team should have a distinct set of pucks (blacks vs naturals).
  3. Determine the starting player by flicking a puck and seeing who gets closest to the Target block.

How to play:

  • The first player flicks their puck towards the target, aiming to get as close as possible. The next player takes their turn and flicks their puck. Which ever player has their puck farthest away from the target keeps taking turns until they flick a puck closer than their opponent. If they flick a puck closer than their opponent, turn taking passes over to them.
  • After all pucks have been flicked, the round ends.
  • Points are scored based on the proximity of the pucks to the Target block.
  • The player or team with the puck closest to the Target block scores 1 point for each of their pucks closer to the Target block than the nearest opponent’s puck.
  • If a player’s puck is knocked out of the playing area, that puck is out of play for the round.

Scoring

  • At the end of each round, measure the distance of each puck from the Target block.
  • Award points to the player or team with the closest pucks.
  • Play continues until a player or team reaches 15 points to win the game.

Special Rules:

  • Knocking the Target block: If a player flicks the Target bock, and it moves in any direction, the new positions stand. If the Target block is knocked over the round is void and restarted with the same player who started the previous round.
  • Blocking: Players can use their pucks to block the opponent’s path to the Target block strategically.
  • Multiple Rounds: For a longer game, play multiple rounds, adding up points from each round until a player or team reaches the winning score.
  • RaAdd a Twist Use ramps and obstacles from the KUGO set to create a more challenging playing area. Players can flick pucks over ramps or around obstacles to reach the jack.
  • Custom Setup: Arrange the playing area with ramps, obstacles, and varying terrains to add a unique twist to each game.
