How to play
How to play
Players in small groups roll or throw balls to a target aiming to make a number close to the target number.
Select a multiple of hundred between 100 and 900 to be your target number.
Take it in turns to throw a beanbag onto the bullseye and use the digit somewhere in your number.
Once the digits are full, players read their number and determine how far they are away from the target number. The player who is closest to the target number wins a point.
The winner with the most points after 3 rounds is declared the winner.
