When I Was Just A Little Boy 6

Shooting Bottle Caps

As I wasn’t crazy about sports, while my friends are busy with basketball and badminton, I was busy with bottle caps.

The fundamental of the game is simple:

– First, take five bottle caps, stack them up, and then spin them into the air so that they fall randomly on the floor.

– Next, the opponent will pick 2 pairs of caps, and challenge the opponent to “shoot” them (e.g. cap A shoot cap C, cap B shoot cap E, cap D is ignored). The aim of the game was to be able to shoot the caps as specified by your opponent, without touching the other caps.

– To achieve this, some allowances are allowed, especially the ability to use any part of your body (commonly the other hand that’s not shooting) as a reflector. (e.g. cap A, B, and C ended up a straight line and the opponent challenges you to shoot A to C – one can then place the left hand parallel to the line and shoot A towards the hand so that it bounces back to hit C). The player can choose the order of shooting the pair.

– If a cap happens to already be covered when spun open, then the opponent automatically wins (because he or she can pick the bottom cap as part of the pair) unless you can keep the caps floating in the sky!

– I forgot the exact point system, but we do gather points over a long period of time.

Anyone wants to play? I kinda miss this game.
