"Expect much raucousness and fierce competition" Daisy Bridgewater - The Daily Telegraph "It's wooden, noisy, and you get to ping things. Brilliant!" - Time Out London Pucket can best be described as frantic, high-dexterity board game action. The game comprises of two players, a beautifully hand-crafted wooden board and some wooden pucks. The gameplay consists of two players taking one half of the board which is separated in two sides. Each player is then presented with the challenge to move all pucks from their half by pinging all of the pucks into their opponent's side. The first player to do so wins. By rapidly pinging all the wooden pucks through the slim hole (the 'Gate') in the centre of the board. A standard game of Pucket takes between two to five minutes to play. However, its fast-paced action and addictive game-play are guaranteed to make it a board game cupboard favourite. The board itself is 54 cm (long) by 43 cm (wide) x and 5 cm (height) and made from Fair Trade sustainable Sheesham wood. The Pucket board has individual player pegs to adjust the elastic tension for added ferocity. Each Pucket board game comes with a cotton bag for the pucks and 16 wooden pucks. How To Play: Players race each other to clear the wooden pucks from their side of the board by catapulting them through a small hole leading to the other side. You don't take it in turns, and shouting and jeering at your opponent are allowed. WARNING: Players will become fiercely competitive. In-game events: Flying Sailor: When a puck flies over the gate. The sender must take it back. Cardinal's Revenge: When a too well-aimed puck bounces off the opposite elastic and comes back through the gate. The Gate Keeper's Dinner: When a poorly aimed puck becomes lodged in the gate. Neptune's Kiss: Players fire at the same time, causing the pucks to kiss at the gate and rebound. History of Pucket: Pucket is ET Games version of a traditional French game, known as Table a L'elastique. After seeing two jolly old men playing on the street in a southern French town, ET Games went straight to the DIY shop for materials to build one. Over the next couple of years, we had so much fun playing it that they decided to start a games company selling Pucket in Britain.
