The Game of Aim and Precision

Objective

Score points by hitting targets with projectiles over a series of rounds.

Equipment

Projectiles (stones or small bags filled with sand), a variety of targets (rings, boards with painted targets, hanging objects).

Setup

1. Place targets at varying distances and heights. Each target has a point value based on difficulty.
2. Players or teams take turns throwing projectiles from a designated line.

Rules

1. Each player/team gets three throws per round.
2. Points are awarded for each target hit. If a target is hit more than once by different players/teams in a round, only the first hit scores.
3. Special "Druid Targets" appear randomly and offer bonus points or extra throws when hit.
4. The game consists of 5 rounds. The player/team with the highest score at the end wins.
5. In case of a tie, a sudden death round with a single, difficult target determines the winner.
