7 de Table (2002)

It's hard to describe this kind of flicking game, because the description of the game has a great chance of being longer than a single play. 7 de Table is made in Lyon (France) and has reached it's final version with engraved boxwood counters and a triangular leather bag to carry them. There are 3 principles: The first player who reaches 7 points or more wins the game The points are easy to take by launching one of your "Centaur" pawns bumping into opposite pawns showing some points (one or two). There is no board, and at extreme limits... there are no rules either, the players have to define what is correct or not to block the enemy fire ! It seems to be a dexterity game like Carom's or Pool, but it can be played in 5 minutes and everywhere if there is a table or some kind of surface. In fact, it's a true politically incorrect game, that can be played according to its rules or... not ! The rules are a bit complex and explain the multiple combination between counters and action pawns, but this complexity is more valuable for the trickiness !!! The game is short enough so that it can be re-played thus avoiding silly quarrels, so let's play !
