Higgyschlagen

  • 2 teams per Higgyschlagen stump. Each team may have a varying number of nails to hammer flush with the top of the stump. Each guy will get 3 nails, gals will get 2 nails. (Ex. All guys on a team = 9 nails, All gals on a team = 6 nails)
  • The game will be played in rounds, this is not a race, it’s a skill game, so take your time.
  • Each player will get a swing with the hammer. A round is over when all 6 players have swung the hammer.
  • The player must tap the stump with the hammer before striking the nail.
  • Once the player has swung the hammer, they pass it to the next opposing player. Once all 6 players have swung the hammer, the round is over and if no team has all 3 nails flush, you start another round.
  • It doesn’t matter which nail the player strikes during their turn.
  • If a nail bends, a player may use their turn to straighten that nail with the hammer.
  • You do not need to tap the stump when straightening a nail
  • If the nail is beyond straightening, a player can use their turn and ask a judge to remove it and set a new nail.
  • A winner is declared when a team has all their nails pounded flush into the stump.
  • Winners receive 5 pts, losers receive 3 pts. In the event of a tie, both teams will receive 4 pts.
