My husband loves games that have solid wooden pieces instead of plastic, so when I saw this I knew I had to add it to his collection. It's well made, and it's super fun for anyone of any age to play. There are no difficult rules to learn; just get all the pucks to the other side. It's fast paced and LOUD, because I guarantee there will be always be yelling and laughing involved. 😁 We're a competitive family, so this is a great addition to our game nights. Warning: your six year old might beat you.

Pucket
The Frantic, Fast-Paced, Flying Puck Game!
More About Pucket
Starting The Game
Place eight pucks on each side of the board. Slide each end of the elastic band into the side grooves so it snaps into place. The two players clap 'high ten' style to start the game.
Fast Flying Pucks
Players use the elastic to launch pucks through the gate until there are no more pucks on their side. Players don't take turns, they just reload and fire as fast as they can. Whoever clears their side of the board first wins.
The Origins Of Pucket
Pucket is our own version of a traditional French game, known as Table à l'elastique. French artisans would make the game from wood and use cat-gut for the elastic, which had to be kept moist during gameplay to stop it from turning limp.
The Punisher Game Variation
The Punisher is a funny variation of play for seasoned players. Every time you fire a puck without it going through the gate, you must take one of your opponent's pucks and put in on your side while reciting 'I accept my punishment.'
Events During The Game
Gatekeeper's Dinner- When a poorly aimed puck becomes lodged in the gate. Feed you opponent the dinner by knocking it through with another puck.
Flying Sailor- When a puck flies over the gate. The sender must take it back.
Cardinal's Revenge- When a too well-aimed puck bounces off the opponents elastic and comes back through the gate.
Neptune's Kiss-Players fire at the same time, causing the pucks to 'kiss' at the gate and rebound.
Pucket Techniques
There are multiple techniques players can use when playing Pucket:
The Garner- This is where you drag a puck back against the elastic and let go, first with one hand and then the other. This produces the highest firing rate but only Mr. Garner himself can combine it with good accuracy.
The Harpist- This is where one hand pulls back the elastic as the other places a puck in front of it. Be sure to let go of the puck before letting go of the elastic!
Terrible Construction!
I bought 2 of these to have at my commercial business and the construction of these games are absolutely horrible! The perimeter wood wasn't fastened to the base of the game and the whole thing came apart. The pucks looked like they were cut by someone who just drank a full bottle of whiskey. A couple of the pucks were cut too thick and crooked and wouldn't fit through the hole in the middle of the board! The wood they show on the box and in the pictures is real wood. The wood used to build this game is particle board. Don't waste your money on this junk.
