Classic basketball challenge game for two to a dozen players.
Players shoot in order of youngest to oldest. The first basket scored sets the game, the next player must score a basket from the same position on the court. If the consecutive player(s) miss, they earn a letter of the game title. When play rotation returns to the original scoring player, they must repeat their shot. If they succeed, they shoot again from a new position on the court, gaining an extra turn. If they fail, game play repeats.
The game title can be changed from Horse to Pig, Cat, or any word you choose in order to adjust play length. When a player picks up the entire title, they are out until the game is over. Game play ends when there is one player remaining.
