Axe Throwing Games Explainations

---

 31 is one of the simpler games at Axe Social, where the goal is to reach exactly 31 points. If you exceed 31, your score resets to 20. Points are scored based on where the axe lands: rings 1-4 are worth their face value, bullseyes are 6 points, and kill shots (the small red dots at the top) are worth 10 points. If your axe touches a line between two values, you get the higher score. It's a competitive race to hit 31! 

 Cricket is a precision-focused game that requires players to hit three of each target: numbers 1-4 and bullseyes. The little red kill shots at the top can eliminate points for your own team. Once you close a number by hitting it three times, you can no longer score on that number for the rest of the game. Players do not lose points for completing a number, and the line rule applies: if your axe lands on a line, it counts as the higher value. 

 Around the World is one of the more challenging games offered at Axe Social. There are no point values; instead, players race to hit targets in a specific order: start with numbers 1-4, then count down from 4-1, and finally hit a bullseye to win. Players begin by choosing either the left or right side to start at 1. Once you hit that 1, you must continue in the same direction for the rest of the game—you can't go back. The line rule applies, meaning if your axe touches a line, it counts as the higher value.

 Call Out is a coach favorite, combining elements of Simon Says and Pig. The coach calls out targets to hit—these can be even numbers, specific sections of the board, or even off the board—but the axe must stick. If both teams miss the call, there’s no penalty. However, if one team successfully hits the target while the other misses, the team that misses starts with a "C." If it happens again, they earn an "A." The goal is to make the other team spell out "CALLOUT" to win. The line rule still applies, counting any axe touching a line as the higher value.

 Land Mines is a challenging new game where teams race to reach 50 points, but they must watch out for penalizing "landmines." If your score hits 15, 24, 35, or 45, you automatically deduct 10 points from your total. For example, if you have 12 points and your next throw brings your score to 15, you drop back to 2 points. Once a landmine is hit, it can't be triggered again. The line rule still applies, so any axe touching a line counts as the higher value. 

 Tug A War is a fun and competitive game where teams aim to reach 15 points to win. The scoring works like this: if Team A scores 6 points and Team B scores 4, Team A adds 2 points to their total since they’re in the lead. However, if Team B scores more points on the next throw, they subtract that total from Team A’s score. For instance, if Team B scores 1 and Team A completely misses, Team A’s score drops to 1 point. The line rule still applies, meaning any axe touching a line counts as the higher value.
