Playing the ball
To move the ball you roll the die. The ball moves according to the amount of the
roll. The O-Team has the following options to play (move) the ball. It can:
A. play the ball to a free square and attempt to capture the ball (see rule 4A, below)
B. play the ball to a square with only a teammate on it (see ‘Direct Pass’ rule 4B)
C. dribble with the ball (see ‘Dribbling’, rule 4C)
D. play the ball to a square with two pawns on it (see ‘Battling’, rule 4D)
For the D-Team response to each of these offensive plays, look under the respective
rules below.
A. Capturing the ball (see Figure 04)
If the O-Team plays the ball to a free square (a square with no pawns on it), then
the O-Team rolls the die again immediately and can attempt to capture the ball (by
moving any pawn, including the pawn that played it, to the same square).
These two plays are always together. If you play the ball to a free square, you
always roll the die again immediately, to attempt to capture the ball.
If the O-Team is able to move one of its pawns to the square with the ball, it has
captured the ball.
After that the D-Team rolls the die, and can attempt to get to the same square
to battle for the ball (see ‘Battling’- rule 4D). Move a D-Team pawn the amount of the
roll. If the D-Team can reach the square with the ball and the O-Team’s pawn, then
there is a battle for the ball.
If the D-Team cannot reach this square, then it becomes the turn of the O-Team
again.
