Rebound (1971)

About this game

In Rebound, each player or team controls four pucks, red or blue. One at a time, players shoot their pucks down the alley, they bounce off two rubber bands, and land in either a scoring zone (10-20-50-100) or the Pit, and score nothing at all. Players are free to knock other pucks around, and it's only at the end of the round that the scores are totaled. First to reach 500 at the end of a round wins. A newer version has green and purple pucks, a 150 or 200 point zone, and tilt area.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
