The objective is to outscore your opponent by strategically placing pucks and knocking opponents' pucks off the board.

PICKING A TEAM

THE RULES
STARTING
All players begin from one end of the table, regardless of whether it’s a singles or doubles match. Ensure that the scoring board above the table is configured for 0-0 scoring.
FIRST PLAY
Now, alternate turns sliding your pucks to the opposite end, aiming to land them within the scoring zones.
It may take a few turns to find the right amount of force to slide the pucks with! The key is to apply enough force to land within the scoring areas, without sending them off the board (no points for pucks off the table!).

Scoring areas
The triangle at the far end of the board is divided into zones, each worth different points and numbered from 1 to 4.
Pucks must be slid within the designated scoring areas without touching any lines for points to count.
The farther the puck is pushed into the scoring area, the higher the points scored.
