Description

Classic tabletop dexterity game for two players that recreates the excitement of Ice Hockey (or football, if played as "Penny Football"). Players sit across a table from one and other as opposing teams. Each team takes turns using three pennies to work their way across the board to score in the opponents goal. The goal is created by the defending team placing two fingers (both index/ index pinky) against the side of the table creating a goal for the offense to score in. The offense moves across the table by setting the coins in a tight triangle position and flicks the rear most coin through the other two coins. The flicked coin must pass through the other two and play continues by flicking a coin in play between the other two continually without disturbing either one until a goal is scored (by getting a penny in the goal), a coin goes off the table, the coin fails to make it through the other two, or the coin contacts one of the other two. At this point roles are reversed. Play continues to a predetermined score (suggest 5 or 10).
