About the game
Face your rival in a simple, smooth, cool and relaxed way. Pichenotte Hockey is a surprising dexterity game for 2 players. The goal of the game is to bring the puck (blue disk) in the opponent’s net by ricocheting the red disk against the puck. If the puck is behind all the discs it can be directly flicked forward. To win, you need precision in the angle and in the strength of the shot and sometimes a little luck! The first player to score three goals wins ! The idea of Pichenotte Hockey was to make a simple, unifying and accessible game for all. Pichenotte Hockey is a unique product with a sleek design, designed and manufactured in Quebec. We’ve managed to create a very simple flicking game on a board that has the exact proportions of a Hockey rink. The three rink formats are respectively 1/100, 1/150 and 1/200. An elastic circles the game board around to hold the pieces of the game and serves as a seat to the board on a table. A precise laser cut and engraving offers a perfect smooth finish to the curves of the wooden board. The perfectly finished wood provides a smooth contact between the disks and the surface. The three format of Pichenotte Hockey are lightweight to facilitate transportation and storage. The game can be hanged on any wall or left on a table ready to play for hours of fun! —description from the designer
