TRADITIONAL SCORING

  • Bullseye must have red paint on both sides of the axe blade to count.

  • Same applies to Killshot (8 pts)

  • If an axe is crossing the line it goes to the higher number 

  • 10 throws 

  • High Score Wins add the scores up as you go 

  • After the 5th throw switch sides

  • You may go for the kill shot at any time, a max of twice per 10 throws,  must be called out if you miss you get zero points.

Zombies vs Humans

  • At least 2 players can be played in teams

  • One combined Scoreboard

  • Starts at Zero

  • Team Zombie gets negative points

  • Team Human gets positive points

  • The goal is to get the score to negative 15 for the zombies and positive 15 for the humans.

  • You may go for the kill shot at any time, a max of twice per 10 throws,  must be called out if you miss you get zero points.

Game Play - A zombie and a human will go up and throw at the same time the zombie will subtract their score from the combined scoreboard the human will add their score
For example: If the scoreboard is at 0 and the human scores a 5 and the zombie scores a 6 the scoreboard adds 5 for the human and subtracts 6 for the zombie equalling -1.

21 Games

  • Can be played solo, 1 vs 1, or as teams

  • The goal is to score exactly 21 in fewer throws than the other players

  • However, if you go over 21 you go backward. For example, if a player is at 18 and needs 3 points to win but hits a 4 they go back 4 points. If they hit a 5 they go back 5 if they hit a 6 they go back 6 points etc.

  • Ways to make it harder - After the first 2 throws you may aim for a kill shot and receive an automatic 21 however you must call it but if you miss it you can easily go back to zero at any time.

Black Jack

  • Same as 21 but if you go over then you can go back to zero.

  • Can be played solo or individually

  • Around the world

  • Goal is to hit in order every ring on the target. 

  • Both players will start aiming at the 1 and will throw until they hit a 1, once a number is hit that player moves on to the next number and throws until they hit it, and so on. Once the player reaches a 5 they go back down trying to hit the 4 rings. The first person to finish in the least number of throws wins.

  • Ways to make it harder - go left to right or right to left in order.

AKA: KING OF THE HILL

  • This game requires at least 3 people the more the better.

  • Whoever thinks they are the best steps into the left lane. (TYEE LOGGER LANE)

  • Challengers step into the right. The challenger will throw and then the Tyee Logger (king) will throw. If the challenger wins they take over as the Tyee Logger or King and if the Tyee Logger wins they stay king.  A good way to find out who is the best.
