The players have chosen the statue of Hermes as their target but need to beware of the trees. I allow a player to choose the number and type of dice from a selection- say D3,6,8 and when thrown this is the distance the ball travels in cm. Non accurate hitting is worked out through scatter dice and/or a chart.

I use buttons to mark the position of each player's ball with little buttons.Here is a game coming to an end.
I must say they have very elegant pastimes in the Duchy. I had no idea that colf was a thing!

Excellent sporting post Alan! Very original. They remind me of my Peter Laing 15mm Marlburian gunners holding cannonballs that lined up look like they are about to play bowls.

DeleteMiniature colf!
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks like a fun little game. Maybe it could also be played with some halfling minis and an orc head...
