The activity sounds rather dangerous but with our safety measures in place, it is 100% safe. We begin with an introduction to axe throwing and the ways in which to throw. After a few practice throws, we take on the scoring targets, where it really gets fun. If there is no visible eye, the valid scoring area is determined by where the front of the handle meets the axe head. Don’t forget to switch which team goes first after each throw and consider the matchups. The closer the players in skill, the longer game you’ll have. 10. First to X

Shot caller: The thrower calls their shot (states how much they’ll score before throwing). If they hit that section of the target, they get double the points. Expert tip: Solve ties by having the players repeat the throw. No letters get awarded if they’re still tied, and the next pair steps up.

Matchups matter! Players with similar skill levels will score similar points, making the game progress more slowly/competitively For ease of league nights, league runners may create single thrower or manual (non-app assigned) matchups. Technique-based scoring: Players may gain additional points by making clean throws, meaning the axe doesn’t bounce or lean. Incorporating this rule is excellent for veterans because it encourages precise technique.

In the event only one thrower has called a Killshot, the other axe will score based on the location of the axe in the board. The batter has the high score – The batter advances the number of bases that is the difference between the scores (*bullseyes count as 5 points in this game). This advances any other runners already on base the same number of bases. This concludes the turn, the next two throwers step up.Exceptions will be made for medical devices that aid in hearing, provided they are not being used to play sound. If the score is still tied after overtime, no letters are awarded, and the next 2 throwers step up. It is recommended for a lane to be a minimum of 15ft in length to accommodate for a 12ft fault line and safe space to throw. Allow players the opportunity to call their targets before they throw, if they choose. On a successful called hit, they receive double the points. If they miss their called target, they get zero!

Here are 11 axe-throwing game ideas for playful times at the arena. From no-frills precision tasks to intricate point-scorers for solos, pairs, or teams, there’s something for everybody below. 1. Landmines First to X is a simple axe-throwing game based on point accumulation that offers countless variants. Best played in teams, it imposes minimal rules and adapts to all experience levels and preferences. Axes that contain more than one bit embedded in the target will score based on the valid, intended scoring area of the axe.If a judge has initiated a change requirement, there will be an automatic pause while the thrower retrieves their replacement axe. If the thrower has initiated the change, a 1-minute pause in play will be granted to retrieve the new axe. The maximum score in each game is 64 (8×6)+(2×8), and the previously mentioned killshot is available for scoring on the fifth and tenth throws of the match (typically players will swap targets after five throws to ensure an even playing experience).

You should not rush your throwers. If one team has a number closed out and the other team has hit it twice, you will have to decide whether to favor offense or defense. You should deal with the scores simultaneously, rather than awarding the points/close out to the thrower who throws first. Landmines are common to both players. Once a landmine is hit, it is safe to hit for the rest of the game (like real landmines, they can only blow up once!). As a safety precaution, throwers must throw from approximately the same distance. (One thrower cannot release their axe at the 12ft line and another at the 15ft line).Judges should not preside over sanctioned games where there is a conflict of interest unless the circumstances are unavoidable. Conflicts of interest would include – family members, significant others, etc. Yahtzee is a different axe-throwing game than you may be used to seeing. It’s a blast but requires a decent-sized group and more rules than other options on our list. Competing players make their throws head-to-head. You sum up their hits, and the lower-scoring team receives a letter. The first to have the word HORSE spelt out loses. In this game, the objective is to reach a total of 21 points. Each competitor has ten throws to achieve this goal, and the one closer to 21 points after ten attempts wins. If you score over 21, you immediately get eliminated. Staff must be available at each lane to ensure competitors are rotating in a manner to allow all participants an equal number of throws.
