GATE

Make the course.

Three gates. Six pucks. Whatever obstacles happen to be around you.

Part croquet. Part disc golf. Part us realizing the yard already had most of the obstacles.

How it works

PROTOTYPE RULES

Move your puck through all three gates first.

  1. 1

    Set the gates

    Place all three wherever the ground allows.

  2. 2

    Pick a route

    Trees, chairs and slopes are fair game.

  3. 3

    Throw

    Take turns moving a puck through the course.

  4. 4

    Finish first

    First puck through Gate 3 wins.

GATE is a future Yard Game in product development. The core play pattern remains intact while materials and production design are tested.

Prototype components for GATE

The current concept

Very few things.

  • 3 gate targets
  • 6 throwing pucks
  • Carry bag concept
  • Quick-start rules

YES, IT’S THREE GATES.

Is it three gates and six pucks? Yes.

Will someone put one behind a tree and confidently call it course design? Also yes.
