Yes.. the name says it all.. the battle of the.. ermm.. pens (there is no spelling mistake there !)
Highly recommended for the totally jobless characters ... in the classroom , at office ..practically anywhere!
Equipment required : A table , preferrably 2x1.5 ft , pens - as required.
How to play :
1) There are two variants of the game.. a) The team game variant (max 2 teams/3 members a team) (b) The Every-man-for-himself variant.
2) If you are playing the singles match.. make sure your pens arent too close to your opponent's .
If you are playing the team variant.. choose a side of the table for a team.
3) All the players must have their pens on the table , perpendicular to the edge from which they are starting.
4) Players take turns in a clockwise manner to shoot their pen into the centre of the arena (the table :P ) . Care must be taken not to overshoot the table's boundary.
5) Players can use their pen to strike the opponent's pen using the Carrom - style striking action.
STRICTLY no pushing the pen or dragging it around or switching hands during a strike. The aim of the strike is to send the opponent's pen out of the playing area.
6) May the last person standing win. If atleast one member of a team is still standing at the end.. his/her team is the winner !
7) Matches are comprised of 10 games each.
Scoring Schemes (Singles Match)
(i) For every opponent you manage to knock out , add 5 points to your score
(ii) If an attempt to knock out an opponent results in a) either you flying off the table b)both you and the opponent are knocked out of the arena , then .. no one gets any points.
(iii) 1 point will be awarded to the player who is last - i.e has ot been knocked out of the arena by the opponents.
This game eventhough seems to be dumb.. requires a lot of concentration , judgement and practical knowledge of dynamics :D
Enjoy as you worthlessly spend your time pitting your pen against others and celebrating well deserved victories :)
Snaps of a group of utterly jobless people playing this game :
The initial position
Few seconds into a commenced game.
A "pen-fighter" analysing the next move to strategically crush his opponents .. He looks calm on the outside ..but in reality .. a storm is brewing in his head. Calculations pertaining to kinetics and dynamics are flowing thro his veins , assisting this would-be conqueror to reign supreme .. on the table :P
Beat the pen fighter's pose all you anands , fischers and topalovs :P
