Fast Sling Puck Board Game Rules 2023

The Table Hockey game primarily consists of two players but it is possible to play the game in groups as well. When it was first invented, the game required players to take turns slinging the pucks, unlike the current version where both players start firing simultaneously.

The board of this game is rectangular in size divided in the middle with only a small gap that the puck can fit through in the middle commonly referred to as a gate.

On both ends of the board, there is an elastic band the players can use to fire the pucks. There are 10 small circular disks usually called pucks that come with the game. 5 pucks are placed on each side of the board and the game is ready to be played.

The most popular method of starting the game is to clap thrice with your opponent using both of your hands. Once the starting signal is given both players start shooting their pucks so that they go through the gate to the opposing side and do not reflect back on their own side. 

Sometimes the timing of the opponent's shot matches and your puck back that fits perfectly through the gate comes back on your own side.

A wooden sling hockey board is used for Sling Puck games. The board is typically made out of wood for durability, portability, and overall ease.

The board for the hockey sling puck game can also be made out of cardboard as a DIY project as well but it will not be as durable. The board itself is available in multiple sizes made available by different board game companies. There are even foldable wooden boards available. 

The type of wood used can be different based on the company's manufacturing practices. Etsy has a wide variety of choices on wooden sling hockey boards for you to check out.

Kiditos Champion is an example of boards made out of wood sourced from environment-friendly sources. The game comes with swappable gates to adjust the difficulty.

It comes with three difficulty levels that can be achieved by changing the gates. The beginner gate will have one standard gap in the middle, and the higher difficulty can have more than one gap. 

This allows for fun for all age levels and you can make it more of a challenge if you find the game with one gate easy. They also have 4 sizes of boards available with the largest one being 27 inches in length and sixteen inches in width. 

Another board game manufacturer that provides multiple sizes for their boards is Mopok, the sizes available are:

• Large size: 22" L X 11.6" W

The Sling Puck Scoring System states that players get one point for successfully shooting their pucks through the gate into the opposite side.

A scoring system can be very helpful if you are playing the game using the turn-by-turn approach. Even if you are playing using the fast play style a scoring system has its advantages.

The turn-by-turn scoring system is fairly simple, the player shoots their pucks through the gate and into the other side to get a point. The score can be tallied at the end if you are playing multiple rounds of the game to determine the winner.

For the fast play style, the players can set up their scoring system. One way might be to play a best of seven games with the players earning one point per win and the first player to earn 4 points declared the winner.
