Two teams. One ball. Five syllables.
Two teams await Go;
Fakeouts abound, players down.
One team must triumph!
In this partner game, teams have 13 moves in which to score a basket or else the other team gets their shot! Based on the rules haiku (5/7/5 syllables per line of poetry), players get five or seven moves before they have to pass to their partner or shoot to score. Players are rewarded for their focus, agility, and trickery! Bonus points for reciting poetry while you play. Winner of the Philadelphia Game Mechanics 2018 Sports Jam.
