Kobe Mini-Yard

1–4 players · 10 min

A table game with a circular board that has four pockets. The board is made of wood and has a circumference of 85 cm. It revolves like a lazy Susan so players need not stand up. The games have elements of Carrom and Billiards (The name is a contraction of 'mini-billiards'). Each player has a hand held spring-loaded cue with which they try to hit various colored wooden pucks into the pockets. There are at least three different games that can be played. For example, Direct Pocket, where points are scored for knocking the pucks into the pockets (eg a red puck is worth 5 points, a green is worth one point). There is Battle Game, where you try to pocket your opponents' pucks by striking them with your own. There is also a game set called Octo Mini-yard which has an octagonal board.
