Play 3 Coin Hockey
This is a fun table game. It's great for when you're stuck indoors, when you have free time during class, or when you just want to play the game!
Steps
- Set up the three coins in a triangle pointing towards you.
- Flick the coin in the middle to separating the coins.
- Form your hands into a goal.
- Have the other person now flick one coin so that it knocks another coin into the goal.
- Take turns shooting until someone scores a goal.
- Remember that there are other ways to play. Look in the "Tips" section for more options.
Tips
- Here's an alternate way to play: You must flick each coin so that it goes "in-between" the imaginary line that separates 2 other coins. The coin that scores must fully pass the opening of the "Goal" line.
- Don't reset the coins until a goal is scored.
- A variation of the above is that the same person keeps shooting a coin between the other two until either they score or hit another coin or don't make it between the other two. Then the coins are reset for the other player.
- Try playing with a different goalie setup. Place your pinky and forefinger of either hand on the edge of the table, with the other two fingers under the table. This allows you to play "goalie" with your other index finger. It's more challenging this way too as the goal is much smaller.
- The goal only counts if the coin was hit in by the coin that was flicked.
- Another way of starting is to jam down on the back coin with one of your fingers (preferably your index). This will part the front coins as well.
Warnings
- Don't get busted by the teacher when playing in class.
Things You'll Need
- Three of the same type of coins.
- A table or floor that coins can slide on.
