CONNECT and COMBINE

Thoughts on pickingHousehold items

Pick unusual but easily available items House holding items (cement, brick, mortar?) Use function of item over form

– Example. Do not choose items that can be easily replaceable (bucket or basket one and the same)

Allow for items to be used in multiple ways to create personal play style

Thoughts on Sport

Sport can be a leisure activity and need not be competition

Allow for depth as well as skill Easy to setup and can be played anywhere Reuse of material as much as possible

How to play – Explanation

Player/s decide the area to play in and arrange the note/coins in that area.

The note/coins need to be placed upright and can take any form/shape (one over the other).

The player/s decide upon a distance from where the game will be played.

Take turns to launch the rubber band and aim for the Money. Smaller the size of the coin/note the more its value. A hit is counted only when the coin/note falls.

Additional Modes of play

Gamble mode. Players take out equal amounts of money from their own pockets and take turns to win the money back.

Expert mode – Where the distance between the player and money increases with every round.

Advantages of this game

Beginner and expert friendly. Beginners can choose a closer distance while experts can choose to be farther away. Also if the game is played within an enclosed area there are more chances of rebound shots which can be a strategy as well a luck based element.

Player Style

Players can choose to place the money in imaginative ways making the game easier or tougher (tower/pyramid).

Players can have different ways to launch a rubber band. This way they make a style comfortable for them to play with.

Expert plays can take down more than one coin/note in one turn by domino effect.

Player Style – Launch Example

Close calls or OH moments

When a rubber band just misses. When a rubber band hits, the coins spins but

does not fall. When a coin falls because of bouncing of a

wall edge. When there is an unexpected domino effect

because of a single coin.

Now why don’t you try it!
