Description

Fumble! is a fast-paced football-themed game combining cards and pong skills to make for an exciting match of skills and reflexes. Cards are dealt and Custom game ping pong balls are set on the playing surface, one less than the total number of players. An orange ball is always set on the table, and the rest are white.

Players start with 5 cards. When "HIKE!" is called, play begins. Each player passes a card to their left. Play continues until someone collects 5 cards of the same position (QB, RB, WR, CB, DL, LB). When this occurs, that player grabs the ORANGE ball in the center of the table and claims 6 points. This starts the FUMBLE! where the remaining players scramble to get one of the WHITE balls (one player is left without).

Once the balls have been claimed, players take their "kicks" by bouncing their ball off the playing surface into the cup. The white balls are worth 3 points (a field goal) and the orange ball is worth for 1 point (an extra point).

Example: In a 4 player game, Player 1 gets 5 cards of a kind first and recovers the orange ball, scoring 6 points. Players 2 and 3 each recover a white ball. Player 4 misses out on the fumble. Player 1 then "kicks" the orange ball for an extra point and players 2 & 3 get a chance to kick a field goal for 3 points.

(In a round a player can earn a max of 7 points)
The first player to get 21 points, wins.
