Choose Color and Order
Choosing a color isn’t critical, but provides a way to determine scoring during game play. The “shooting” order can be done via coin flip or slide a single puck closest to a given target or closest puck to the end of the table or whatever method you’d like. Once the order is selected, each player takes a turn sliding their colored puck. Unlike the traditional game, play is only from one side of the table (the side with the logo).
Sliding Pucks
Pucks are slid from the end of the table and cannot be slid from the side of the table. Throwing pucks is considered highly inappropriate.
Poker Chips
Prior to the start of the game, agree on the denominations of each color of the chips.
