Introduction

Throwing Things is a fun and engaging target practice game where players throw random objects at targets. The game tests accuracy and creativity, making it a perfect choice for gatherings, parties, and casual fun.

Objective

The objective of the game is to score points by hitting targets with random objects. The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

Game Setup

1. Choose a Play Area: Select an open space, either indoors or outdoors, with enough room for safe throwing and target placement.
2. Gather Random Objects: Collect various objects that can be safely thrown. Examples include balls, bean bags, small toys, crumpled paper, and soft items.
3. Set Up Targets: Place targets at different distances from the throwing line. Targets can be made from cardboard, buckets, or any safe item that can act as a target. Assign point values to each target based on difficulty.

Game Rules

1. Starting the Game: Decide the throwing order by any random method (e.g., rock-paper-scissors).
2. Taking Turns: Each player takes a turn to throw an object at the targets from the throwing line. Each turn consists of one throw.
3. Scoring:
   • If the object hits a target, the player scores the points assigned to that target.
   • If the object misses all targets, the player scores zero points for that turn.
4. Recording Scores: Keep track of each player’s score after every turn. Use a whiteboard, notepad, or any method to record scores.
5. Winning the Game: The game continues for a set number of rounds (decided by players before starting) or until a time limit is reached. The player with the highest total score at the end is the winner.

Safety Guidelines

• Ensure all objects used are safe and unlikely to cause injury.
• Maintain a safe distance between players and targets.
• Avoid throwing sharp or heavy objects.

Variations

1. Team Play: Divide players into teams and combine their scores. The team with the highest score wins.
2. Timed Challenge: Players have a set amount of time to score as many points as possible.
3. Obstacle Course: Add obstacles between the throwing line and the targets to increase difficulty.

Game Duration

The game typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of players and rounds played.
