In basketball, “Horse” is a fun shooting game that can be played by two or more players. Here’s how to play:
1. Players: You need at least two players to play, but you can have more. Each player takes turns shooting basketball shots.
2. Objective: The goal of the game is to avoid accumulating letters. The first player to spell “HORSE” loses the game.
3. Gameplay:
– The first player (Player A) takes a shot from anywhere on the court, using any method or trick they like (such as a normal shot, a bank shot, or a trick shot).
– The next player (Player B) must then replicate that exact shot. If Player B successfully makes the same shot, the turn goes to the next player, and the process repeats.
– If Player B misses the shot, they receive the letter “H.”
– If Player A misses their shot, Player B gets a chance to make a shot, and the process continues.
4. Rules:
– Players must replicate the shot exactly as it was made, meaning if a player makes a bank shot, the next player has to bank it in the same way.
– Players can make shots from anywhere on the court, but some variations of the game limit the area of play to specific spots or distances.
– If a player spells “HORSE,” they are out of the game. The last player standing wins.
5. Optional variations:
– Players can set challenges or use trick shots to make the game more difficult.
– Some people use “make it, take it” rules, where the person who successfully makes a shot gets another turn.
The game continues until only one player remains who hasn’t spelled “HORSE.”
