WASHERS RULES

These rules are not meant to be broken………..Greg Pines

1. Boxes should be placed about 17ft apart(front to front).

2. Player 1 throws all 4 washers, then Player 2 throws all 4 washers.

3. Points are awarded as follows: 3pts for in the cup, 1 pt for in the box, 2pts for a washer that lies on top of the wall.

4. The player who scores the most points on each turn subtracts their opponents score. (ex. Player 1 gets a washer in the cup worth 3 pts, Player 2 gets 2 washers in the box worth 1 pt each totaling 2 pts. Therefore Player 1 would get 3-2= 1 pt.)

5. The game ends after 15 pts.

6. “The Gold Ones” If a player throws a washer in the cup or throws all 4 of their washers(which means all 5 if they already have a “gold one”) in the box on a turn, they receive a “Gold One”. They continue to play with an additional Gold washer each turn until the other player earns one and takes it out of play. (Important. A “Gold One” does not ever switch hands, it has to come out of play, then be earned again before the other player can have one. A player may have 2 “Gold One’s, but 2 players may never each have one.)

7. If you accidently hand your opponent a “gold one” while you are picking them up after a turn, they may throw it for that turn only……see glossary Fool’s Gold! NEW RULE
