How to play?

The BROOS game offers several ways to play.

The game "DARTS"

A quick and easy option. Select your target on the score counter on the website: 31, 51, or 61 points. Depending on how much time you have for the game. Fill in the names of the players.

Place the grinding stone on the starting line and spin it gently with one or both hands by the shaft. The goal is for the spinning stone to stop as far as possible on the track without falling to zero. Each player plays twice in a row, and only the better of the two attempts counts. Then the players take turns. They enter their points into the score counter on the website. The goal is to gradually throw the exact final number of points (e.g., 31).

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 winner is the player who throws the higher number.

The game "FOR 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 being tallied up, conveniently done 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 at this game than men. This motivates some men, while others find it annoying.

The game "GOLF"

This game is scored similarly to golf. The goal is to make a "hole" with as few strokes as possible, with the next stroke starting from where the previous stroke ended.

Players first determine the number of "holes," or rounds (optimally between five and nine). Our hole on the green is number thirteen. The first player places the stone on the tee, tries to get it to the target, and counts the number of attempts. They always continue from the place where the stone rolled to. If they roll to zero, they play again from the start. If they roll a thirteen, they write down the number of attempts. If they do not reach the hole in five attempts, they write down six. Then the next player plays. Whoever has the fewest attempts at the end (after playing all rounds) wins. Points are recorded on paper, but you can also use our counter on the website (game "for points"), only with the opposite evaluation.

An interesting alternative to the game: The hole on the green does not always have to be number 13! You can also play so that the position of the hole is redefined before each round. This is done by someone randomly throwing a stone, and wherever it lands, that is the green with the hole for the next round (zero = 13). The person who determines this can be either someone from the audience (e.g., a child) or one of the players. Preferably the one who played the worst in the previous round. 

Game variants for larger groups

1. "Elimination"

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 that round is eliminated from the game and "delete player" is marked on the counter. In the event of 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 the total number of points on the counter. That's it. They see the (doubled) total of their points and remember it. Then the next player plays. Additional players can be added during the game. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.

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.).

The number of rounds is set on the counter according to the number of members in each team. "Player 1" on the counter is the entire team, which is left 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"!!!
