SKOOT<\/strong> is a Biathlon board game that you make yourself with a printer and some glue or tape, a few dice, and some playing tokens (lego works great). It is based on rolling dice and making strategic decisions, in which competitors ski three loops and shoot twice. For the skiing part, the effort is based on tactics and players use dice to determine the number of tiles they go along the course. The shooting success is determined by a tactical decision and rolling a die for each of the five targets. The game is easy to learn and can be played by young and old, and anywhere in between. It comes in a basic version suitable for younger kids (eight and younger) or you can use an add-on to make the tactics more involved.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This game is made out of a passion for biathlon and with a desire to make it fun and accessible to kids of all ages. Therefore the game is completely free to download and use<\/strong>. However, as I spend a lot of hours developing and designing the game, and plan to add more tracks in the future, any donation as an act of support and appreciation is very welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
