GAME RULES TABLE FOOTBALL Table football can be played by two teams of two players each or by two individuals. The Object of the Game – To be the first team (or player) to score a predetermined amount of goals or score the most goals in a given time period. To Play – The server rolls the ball through the serving hole to start the game. When a ball enters the opposing team’s goal then a goal is scored. If the ball enters the goals but bounces back onto the playing surface ... - Page 10 A puck scores one point if it is located between the short foul line & the ‘2’ line. Pucks located completely in the ‘2’ or ‘3’ area count 2 points respectively. CHESS Chess is a board game for two people. To play you need the following: A board divided into 64 squares, 8 along each side (the squares are alternately coloured light & dark) & a set of 32 chess pieces – 2 rooks or castles, 2 knights, 2 bishops, a king, a queen & 8 pawns per player. The board should be set up as shown: The Object of the Game – A player must capture (checkmate) their opponent’s king. To Play – The players sit facing each other with the board positioned so that each player has a light‐coloured square in the right‐hand corner. To begin the game the players toss a coin for colour (white always goes first) then move in turn. The moves for each piece are: King – One square in any direction (forwards, backwards, sideways, diagonal) Queen – Any number of squares in a straight or diagonal line Rook – Any number of squares forwards, backwards or sideways Bishop – Any number of squares diagonally (note: the bishop must always stay on one colour) Knight – In combination of one square forwards or backwards then two squares sideways or one square sideways then two squares forwards or backwards (note: the knight always moves to a square of the opposite colour) ...

To play you need the following: A board divided into 64 squares with 8 along each side (the squares are alternately coloured light & dark – most commonly red & black) & a set of 12 pieces for each player (one set each of dark & light). The board should be set up as shown: The Object of the Game – A player must capture all their opponent’s pieces or position their own pieces so that their opponent is unable to make any move. The Basics – The players sit facing each other with the board positioned so that each player has a dark square at the left end of their first row. Each player places their pieces in the dark squares of the first three rows on their side of the board. The player with the darker pieces always makes the first move. Moves are made diagonally & only one move may be made on each turn. You can only move your player into a square if it is vacant. If one of your pieces is next to one of your opponent’s pieces & the square beyond is free, then you must jump ...
- Page 12 The Object of the Game – Is to move your men so they all end up in your inner table. You do this by moving them according to the number shown on the throw of two dice. The person who removes all their men from the board first (called ‘bearing off’) wins. The Basics – The board is divided into 24 points with 12 points on each side. Each side is divided into an inner & outer board & each inner or outer board is divided into two sections with each made up of six points. The order of play is determined by roll of one die & the player with the highest number goes first. The player then moves two men using the numbers shown on the two dice – their own & their opponent’s – using each number individually, not in total. If the player throws a double they must move four times the value of the dice. The players continue by throwing in turn – each using their own dice. Both numbers of the roll must be used whenever possible. If the player cannot move, play passes to the opponent. The Finer Points – You can take one of your opponent’s single men on a point (called a ‘blot’) & replace it with one of your own (called a ‘hit’). If there are two or more men on a single point they are safe & cannot be taken (called a ‘blocked point’). Your opponent can’t land on a blocked point but they can move over it. When a man is captured he is placed on the bar (also called ‘jail’) & must enter your opponent’s inner table according to the number thrown on either dice. You can’t move any of your other men until this is done. If you can’t enter because both points are blocked then the turn passes to your opponent. All of your men must be in your inner table before you can start bearing off. If possible you must use your entire roll. If, for example, you roll a five but have no men on your five point, you must take a man off the highest point where you have one. If a man in your inner table is hit while you are bearing off, that man has to go to the bar & re‐enter. You can’t continue bearing off until you get this man back into your inner table. TABLE TENNIS Scoring – The player, or doubles team, who first scores 21 points wins the game. However you must win by two points so a game could go on to 30‐50 points before being decided. A match is usually the best two out of three games, & in International Championships it is the best three out of five games. In other words, if you lose the first game it’s not the end of the match – winning the next games can make you the winner. Choice of Ends & Service – Flip a coin to choose who serves & who receives from which end. After each game you will alternate the ends. Should there be a tie, for instance, one game to one game, then the players will change ends after the first player reaches 10 points in the final game. The Serve – Stand behind your end of the table. Hold the ball in the palm of your free hand & throw the ball straight up in the air. As the ball falls, hit it so it lands on your half of the table, makes one bounce, & then ...
- Page 13 touches the net & lands on the floor, you lose a point. If the serve goes into the net then you also lose the point. You serve until five points have been scored & then the other player gets to serve for the next five points. At 20‐20 (you must win by two points) you alternate the serve after each point. The Server – The server is the player who starts the game by being the first to put the ball into play. The Receiver – The receiver is the player who receives the ball from the server & returns it over the net. If you are the receiver remember that the ball must not bounce twice on your side of the table & you can hit the ball only once to return it. Try to hit the ball on its highest peak & you will have a better angle hitting it back onto the opponent’s side. The return ball can touch the net & still go over but it cannot go into the net otherwise you will lose a point. If the returning ball touches the edge of the table on your opponent’s side it still counts as in (as long as the ball hits the edge whilst dropping). If the ball hits the side of the table top it is not considered an edge ball & will not count. Win a Point – You win a point if the opponent fails to return your shot. Your shot can hit the boundary lines (white lines) on your opponent’s side or even the edge of the table & it is still allowed. Your serve can also hit the edge & be allowed. You can also win a point if you hit the ball off the table but it lands on your opponent’s bat before it touches the floor or wall. This may seem odd that you can win a point by missing ...
- Page 14 yard is empty & the player is unable to play, they must pass a turn. If all players have passed, the game ends & the player with the lowest number of points is the winner. Scoring – Points are given to each player according to the total number of dots on all the unplaced tiles in each player’s hand. The player with the lowest score is the winner. PICK UP STICKS Object of the Game – To score as many points as possible to win the game. Game Rules – One player holds all the sticks upright in one hand over a table & opens their hand quickly so that the sticks scatter on the table. The sticks may be thrown again if the first throw is bad. The first player tries to pick up individual sticks without moving any other stick. If another stick moves, the player’s turn is over & the next player begins. When the Mikado (black stick) is picked up it can be used to help lift off other sticks. When all the sticks have been picked up the points of the sticks are added up. The winner is the player with the highest score. Scores – Mikado – 20 points Blue sticks – 10 points each Red sticks – 5 points each Yellow sticks – 3 points each Green sticks – 2 points each MARBLES Rules – Marbles involves rolling or throwing your marble to either try & hit a target marble or hit the other players’ marbles. Decide if you are playing for ‘keepsies’ (players keep the marbles they win in the game) or ‘playing fair’ (everyone gets their own marbles back at the end of the game). Draw a circle on the ground. Each player should put an agreed number of marbles in it & stand behind a line drawn some distance away. The aim is to hit the marbles out of the circle. Take turns to roll, throw or flick a marble (called a ‘shooter’) into the circle, trying to hit the marbles out of it. If you knock a marble out of the circle you get to keep it. If the shooter stays in the circle it remains there & it’s the next player’s turn. If it comes out you can fetch it & have another go. Carry on having turns until all the marbles in the circle have been won. The person with the most marbles wins. 13 ...
- Page 15 RINGTOSS Each player has four rings which they toss at the ring post to try & get them to fall over the upright pole. The game can be played individually, against another player or as part of a team. HORSESHOES The object of this game is to ring or throw the horseshoe as close to the post as possible. A ringer is where the horseshoe encompasses the post. The game can be played with two or four players. TIC TAC TOE (Noughts & Crosses) This is a game for 2 players. The player who goes first selects either the ‘Noughts’ or ‘Crosses’. These pieces are placed on the board in turn by each player & whoever lines up 3 pieces in a row first wins (vertically, horizontally or diagonally). POKER DICE Throw all five dice. Two further throws are allowed to achieve the best possible hand, changing as many or as few dice as wished. The order of winning throws: Five of a kind – eg. AAAAA Royal Straight – eg. A, K, Q, J, 10 Four of a kind – eg. KKKK Straight – eg. K, Q, J, 10, 9 Full House – eg. KKKJJ Three of a kind – eg. JJJ Two pairs – eg.

- Page 16 A strike is scored when a player knocks down all 10 pins with their first ball of the frame. A strike consists of ten points plus the score from the next two balls bowled. If a player scores a strike in their final frame they are allowed an extra two balls to complete their bonus. If a strike is achieved in every frame & with both bonus balls, the maximum score of 300 is achieved. A spare is scored when a player knocks down all ten pins with both balls in a frame (this includes knocking down all ten pins with the second ball of the frame). A spare scores ten points plus the score from the next ball bowled. If a player scores a spare in their final frame they are allowed one extra ball to complete their bonus. MAGNETIC DARTS 501 & 301 – Each player starts with a score of 501 & takes turns to throw 3 darts. The score from each turn is deducted from the player’s score. The first player to reach zero is the winner. The last dart thrown must be a double. 301 is played the same way except the player starts with 301. Scoring – Bullseye scores 50, the outer ring scores 25 & a dart in the double or triple scores double or triple the segment score. If a player reduces their score to 1 or goes below zero, the score is bust & the turn immediately ends & the score returns to what it was at the start of the turn. ...
