Bonk

SLide to score!

Steel balls versus a wooden target ball! The steel balls must be made to roll down the slides so that they hit the wooden ball and send it into the opposing goal. You play one versus one or two teams with two players each confront each other.

The Bonk board must be placed on an even base. The four slides are placed in the corners of the board and must be aligned to point to the middle of the board. In each corner, three steel balls are placed, the wooden target ball sits on its starting point. The optimum way to play the game is in two teams, each of four players controlling one slide, team members sit next to each other.

All play simultaneously and let steel marbles roll down the slides to send the wooden marble into the opposing goal, you can move the slide to target the wooden ball; each goal that you achieve scores one point. A goal has been achieved, when the wooden ball touches the “nose” in the back part of the goal.

After each score, the target ball goes back to the starting point and a new round begins with a “High Five”, that is hand-against-hand slapping, each player with his two neighbors. Steel balls in your own or your partner’s corner can be picked up and re-rolled and handed to your partner, too. If a team is out of balls, it receives one ball from the opposing team at the start of a new round. The first time to score five points, wins. In the Cannonball version, a team also scores a point, when all steel balls are in the other team’s half of the board.

Hectic, challenging, fun and a lot more tactical than one would believe possible, uncontrolled shooting only loses you balls.
