Object

Shoot hoops head-to-head! First player to score 5 points wins.

Get Ready

  1. Sit on opposite sides of the Foosketball court, behind the baskets.
  2. Start with 5 balls behind each gate. It doesn't matter who starts with the golden ball.

Hold! Hold the handles gently with your fingertips for easy turning.

Play

  1. Lift both gates at once to release all the balls.
  2. Then lower the gates back into place.
  3. Go head-to-head, using your handles to pick up and throw balls into your opponent's basket. (See Shooting.) You can also try to block each other's shots!
  4. If you score a basket, leave that ball behind the gate. The orange balls are worth 1 point. The golden ball is worth 2 points.
  5. Keep playing until one of you scores 5 points!

Shooting

  1. Use both handles to grab a ball.
  2. Turn both handles backward to raise the ball up and behind your figure's head.
  3. Carefully balance the ball in your figure's right (raised) hand while lowering their left hand.
  4. Use the right handle to bring the right hand back a little more, then quickly twist the handle forward to fling the ball.

Tips

  • Use your figure's right hand to pull balls toward you.
  • Try to block your opponent's shots by throwing balls at the same time they do.
  • When your opponent has a ball ready to launch in their right hand, hit their left hand to try to knock the ball out.

Win

First player to score 5 points wins! (Remember, the golden ball is worth 2 points.)

Another Way to Play

Remove the gates and play with just one ball on the court. Decide how many points to play to. Whoever reaches that score first wins!
