(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Bored in lunch or studyhall, or maybe even class? This game is very entertaining, and it doesn't take much. All you need is a desk, for your "court" and three pennies. The objective of the game is to hit one penny between two other pennies into the other player's "goal". The desk shouldn't be too long, but it shouldn't be very short either.

Below are pictures that will help you understand how to play.

HOW TO PLAY

Find a desk with a reasonable lengthed "court". Have a friend sit directly across from you, and form a goal with his hands on the desk.

You must login or register to view this content.

Spread your pinky finger and index finger out on top of the table, into a reasonable sized goal, and push the knuckles of your ring finger and middle finger right up against the edge of the table.

Arrange the three pennies like so:

The arrow is the direction you are supposed to hit the pennies, towards the player's goal. You have to hit the penny closest to you. This is called the "break". After breaking, the table should now look something like this (unless you completely failed on the break, which happens):

The red arrow indicates that you have to hit that penny through the other two, WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM. If the penny you flicked/hit hits another penny, it's the other players turn.

YOU HAVE TO HIT THE PENNY THAT FARTHEST BACK! In other words, every time, you have to hit the penny that's closest to you, and you hit it between the other two pennies again and again until you score.

Here is the next move of the above match:

If the player successfully cleared the penny through the other two and into the goal, then it counts! It only counts, however, if the ENTIRE penny is past the tip of the pinky. Normally you play to five, but you can make up the score limit.

YOU CANNOT:
-Hit any penny of the edge of the table. If you do, it's the other player's turn.
-Hit any penny into another penny. Again, it will be the other player's turn.

YOU CAN:
-Bank the penny you are going to hit off of your hand. Look at this picture:

That is your hand. You can flick it off your hand but you have to flick it pretty hard to get it to bounce off.

-You can also get the penny into the goal on your "break". It takes some skill though.

I hope I explained this game enough so you guys can enjoy it with your friends when you're bored. If you have questions, feel free to quote, although only quote a small section so the quotes aren't huge Winky Winky

You just flick or shoot or glide a penny through two other pennies into a makeshift goal.

@Knucks: Cool story I guess....
