Target Ball

0 players · 0 min

This game consists of a target board inset into the box, a 3.75" long metal spring catapult, and three wooden balls about 3/4" in diameter. Holes designed to fit the balls are cut into the cardboard target at various points.

These include a 50 point bulls-eye and four holes in each of three surrounding rings (30,20,10), plus half a dozen 10 holes and four diamonds worth 5 outside the main target. There is a "No Score" indented section in front of the target, where balls count for zero but may be re-shot. A ball that misses the box counts zero and is out of play.

Players take turns shooting the three balls, and the one with the highest total score after four rounds wins the game.
