How to play?
The BROOS game offers several ways to play. What do they all have in common? You'll have fun, and you'll find our score counter useful.
The game "darts"
A quick and simple version of the game. Place the grinding stone on the starting line and spin it gently with one or both hands using the shaft. The aim is to get the spinning stone to stop as far as possible on the track without falling off. Each player plays twice in a row, and only the better of the two attempts counts. Then the players take turns. Players record their points in the score counter on the website. The goal is to gradually score exactly 31 points. If someone "overshoots" in the last round, they score zero in that round. The first player to reach the full number of points after all players have finished the round wins. In the event of a tie, a shootout follows. The player who rolls the higher number wins.
Note: A higher target (51 or 61 points) can also be chosen. This makes the game longer.
The game "Points"
The most experienced player, or the one who won last time, starts. The game is usually played in five to ten rounds, with the points scored conveniently tracked by a score counter. In the last round, the number of points is automatically doubled. The player with the highest total score at the end of the game wins. He is Brusič with a huge B!
Note 1: If a player needs to leave during the game and it is their turn, the others write down a zero and continue playing. In the next round, the returning player plays twice and writes down the sum of both throws.
Note 2: If a new player joins during the game, they will be shown zeros for the rounds they missed. They must therefore repeat their first attempt several times and enter the total starting number of points in the counter.
Note 3: If the players have the same number of points, they will perform a "shootout."
Note 4: In rare cases, the stone may get stuck at the top between the scoring points. In this case, you must hit the table firmly.
Note 5: Women are often more successful in this game than men. This motivates men, and sometimes even annoys them.
Game variants for larger groups
1. "Play off"
The number of rounds on the counter is set to the same as the number of players. Each player spins the stone twice. They record the total points from their two attempts. The player with the lowest total in a given round is eliminated from the game and marked as "delete player" on the counter. They can drink in peace. If there is a tie, a shootout follows, with each player spinning the stone once. The player with the lower number of points, as well as anyone who scored zero in the shootout, is eliminated. The next round follows. The last player remaining in the game wins.
2. "Mr. Havrda's Three Farts"
Set the number of rounds to 1 on the score counter. Each player takes three turns in a row and then writes only the total score on the counter. That's it for that player. They see their (doubled) total score and remember it. Then the next player takes their turn. Additional players can be added during the game. The player with the most points at the end wins. Everyone can celebrate their victory or defeat with a drink.
3. Team play
Players form two or more teams with the same number of members (e.g., table A versus table B, women versus men, old versus young, rednecks versus progressives, etc.).
Set the number of rounds on the counter to the number of members in each team. "Player 1" on the counter is the entire team, which remains at 1. The entire team then plays, with each member usually taking one turn. If someone needs to go to the bathroom, another team member can take their turn. The team then remembers their total score. The next team then plays. The team with the higher score wins.
Important info: By "player," we also mean "female player" or "they player"!!!
