Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about the game of Paws!
Place your pucks, 2 to 4 players, ages 6 and up, for 20 to 30 minutes, to get closer to the river without going over the edge!
The sun is heating up the Savannah. Step into the shoes of a thirsty animal for a game. Get as close as possible to the river to drink without being eaten by the crocodiles hiding there. Avoid being tripped up and escape the mischievous monkeys. Place the river (the 3m rope) stretched horizontally 7m from the players. Each player takes a set of 4 paws of the same animal. Players each take a banana.
The playing area is located between the river line and the players, along the length of the river. A game is played over several rounds. A round ends when all players have thrown their paws and bananas.
Players take turns throwing a paw. It must always be thrown in front of the previous one without crossing the river and ignoring other animals. When a thrown paw touches another paw right side up, nothing happens. When a thrown paw touches an upside-down paw (pattern not visible), regardless of the owner, they are eliminated.
Remember to leave room to place your remaining paws in front of those already thrown. Once the paw stops in its path, check whether it is valid or eliminated. Valid paws are located between the river and the paw of the same animal previously thrown.
Eliminated paws are those that have not passed the paws of the same animal previously thrown, that bite the river current or pass beyond it, or when a thrown paw touches one or more upside-down paws (pattern side not visible). The eliminated paws are then thrown to the crocodiles and thrown into the river.
Exceptionally, if a paw touches the same spot (visible pattern) as the previously thrown animal without making it cross the river, the paws remain in play as they are, whether now turned over or not. If during the throw, the paw pushes an opposing paw into the river or bites into the river's edge, the opposing paw will be eliminated and thrown to the crocodiles.
If the thrown paw slightly shifts the river's edge, it remains where it is, and the river's edge is slightly shifted. When all the paws have been thrown, the prankster monkeys enter the game. The monkeys have only one goal in life: to annoy the other animals. They are symbolized by bananas.
Each player takes turns throwing their banana, trying to target the opposing animals. If the banana touches one or more paws before stopping, all the paws touched are eliminated and thrown to the crocodiles, whether they belong to the thrower or another player.
Points are scored in three different ways at the end of the round. One point is scored for each paw remaining in the playing area for each animal. For each animal, the player looks at the one closest to the river without having crossed it. Players then earn three points for their animal closest to the river line.
The second earns them two points, and the third one. The other animals earn no points. Finally, among the paws closest to the river for all players, the one whose paw is closest earns two additional points. The winner is the player with a total score of 25 points or more. In the event of a tie, the players are broken by a final throw.
Have a good day and good game ;)
