Basketball Age

Two players act as opposing coaches and manage a five-player lineup on a miniature basketball court divided into zones. Each player piece has individual stats for movement, passing, scoring percentage and other skills tied to their position. Turns proceed via alternating activations of court players; the attacking side runs up to ten activations per possession or until a turnover. Actions are resolved with six- and ten-sided dice and simple charts to handle passes, shots (two-point, three-point, layups, dunks), rebounds, steals, blocks, fouls and free throws. The game emphasizes positional choice, activation sequencing and dice-driven resolution of basketball plays.
