A regulation board is about 26 inches across, with concentric scoring rings and a small peg fence around the central 20-point hole.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit around the board and take turns flicking their discs with a finger from the outer edge toward the scoring rings in the center.

2

A shot must knock at least one opponent disc off the board or land past the outer scoring line, otherwise the shooter's own disc is removed.

3

Discs landing in progressively smaller rings score more points, with the small central hole worth the highest value if a disc drops all the way in.

4

Turns alternate between opponents (or between teams in four-player games) until all discs from both sides have been played in that round.

5

At the end of the round, each side's discs remaining on the board are scored, with higher-ring discs canceling out lower ones from the other side.

6

Rounds repeat until a side reaches an agreed target score, such as 100 points, and that side wins the game.
