(ok. Now I'm mad. I just typed up this really long in depth explanation of what rat puck is, then my computer just shut dow. But because I'm so **** staburn, I'm retyping. [But I feel like crying because that's the best explantion I've ever done for anything and it took me so long.)
Rat puck(yes it's an official game) is a really complicated game.
A quick definition: You put a rat(there official ones) at the end of a rat pucking stick(official ones too) and throw it towards a target. The hard part is is that you can't use your hands.
More in depth info: There are a lot of complicated rules to the game.
There are certain ways you have to throw the rat. (Before you throw a rat you have to call cheese otherwise it doesn't count.)
There are many ways to throw the rat.(They all have different names) Each shot falls into two classification. They are stud pucking and nancy boy shots. Stud pucking is more of a direct shot. Nancy boy had lots of variations.
During official ternys stud pucking is only allowed. But during casual games you may use either. (Enless it's stud pucking you call out the name of the shot before you yell cheese.)
Every time you throw the rat you get a "stroke" or point if you will. At the end of the hole the person with the least stokes wins that hole. Whoever wins the most holes wins the game.
There may or may not be set rules for a hole.
Example: At GLMF-mediaval faire-(where I play. Only casual. We haven't gotten permision for official yet. But Brians working onit.) hole five, well for now, we're renumbering them to include the previous years holes, we have to go through a certain set of trees and hit the jail to end the game. If our rat goes astray and doesn't go through these trees, then on our next play we have to go back around and go through them.
Also there are ways of getting strokes off(I'll use the same hole for example) If we hit the jail then the holes over for that person. If you make it in the jail you get a stroke off. If you make it in one of the small cadges on the side of the jail you get two stokes off.
There are also wasy to determine the order of things.
Before you even start pucking everyone throws their rat in the air. Whosever rat land with their nose closest pointing toward the target goes first. Then you go in order by closeness for the rest.
Only at the very first hole everyone pucks together for the first puck. This is called a clucter puck.
Then for the beginning of every hole the person that won the toss up goes first and then the rest follow in the chosen order. Either that or the person that won the last hole goes first and it goes in order by the toss up.
Once everyone has pucked once you can go by the initial order and take turns pucking once(everyone must remeber to keep accuret track of there strokes) the the one farthest away keeps pucking unti they are no longer the farthest away(or it the target.) Then the next farthest away goes until everyone hits the target.
Anything else.......
Oh yeah.
No one may touch your rat while in play. If a 'patron' touches your rat while it's in play(even just lieing on the ground while you're wating for your turn) you get an extra stroke. This also goes for yourself and those that you're playing with. Only you may toch your rat penalty free and that's only with your foot. Your own hands ern you a stroke.
I think that's it.
Here's the official site. www.thewildhunt.com/thegreen/ratpuck.shtml
Here's some pics of me playing. (my dad's site btw so no one gets confused by the captions) tylisaari.com/medieval/glmf04/rat.htm
