CROSSBONES
How To Play
Setup
Map out the Crossbones® arena.
Push in the 6 marker pegs, take aim, and start this fun throwing game on grass or sand - at the park, beach, or backyard.
Gameplay
Games can be played between 2-12 players consisting of two teams.
Throw those bones about and Get On Top!
Be careful - different strategies are required depending on whether you play lawn games or beach games.
The team that scores the fewest points goes first in the following round.
Scoring
Land your bones on your opponent's bones to score points.
The more Crossbones® you claim, the more points you score.
For one of your Crossbones®, which is on top of your opponents at the end of a round, a point is scored.
Crossbones® must be completely over the center of opponents Crossbones® to score. Covering the end or covering with the end is not allowed.
To score, your Crossbones® must be directly above your opponents without one of theirs on top of yours.
Both players can score in the same round.
Games are plated to 7 “Sprint,” 11 “Classic,” or 21 “Marathon”
There is no bust rule in effect.
History
Crossbones® was created in Australia and designed to be a game for all ages. At one time, the game could be purchased directly through their website or through Etsy but it is currently unavailable for purchase.
