Setup
Snap two halves together before set up. The diagram labels the Rubber Cushion and the Pit area next to the score areas. The rules refer to a right alley (where Pucks are slid up toward the Rubber Cushions) and a left alley (where Pucks return toward the score areas).
The diagram on the sheet labels the score areas as follows:
- "These pucks each score 10"
- "This puck scores 50"
- "These pucks each score 100"
- Pit area: "Pucks that land here do not score"
Rules
- Players alternate taking turns sliding one Puck at a time.
- Players slide their Pucks up the right alley of the Playing Field toward the Rubber Cushions. The Puck will hit the Cushions and slide back down the left alley toward the score areas.
- Players must release their Pucks in the area behind the Foul Line.
- Players may not remove any Puck from the Playing Field until the round is over.
- Any Puck that goes off the Playing Field is "out of play" until the end of the round.
- After each player has used the supplied Pucks, a round is over and scores are registered.
- Each Puck in a score area, or on a line, has a score value. Whenever a Puck is on a line, its score value is that of the line (see diagram above for examples).
- The "Pit" area next to the score areas has no score value. Any Pucks that land there must remain until the end of the round.
- After the score have been registered, players remove their Pucks from the Playing Field, including any in the "Pit", and start the next round. The highest score from the last round goes first.
- Players are allowed to knock an opponent's Puck in the "Pit" to keep it from having a score.
- The player who reaches "500" first is the winner.
Team Play
Two Cushion Bumpershot may be played in team competition. Two teams of two or more players each are formed. Players decide on team colors. Teams alternate sliding their Pucks, one at a time. Players on each team must also alternate turns when shooting. All other rules of individual play remain the same. First team to reach "500" wins the game.
