As we do everyday, my son and I were playing Attacktix. We came up with an interesting use for Attacktix.....Golf.
Here's how we worked it:
You take a Battle Droid or Clone and set him up somewhere. That is the "hole"
Your allowed to carry 4 figures as "clubs"
So far we've learned that Clone Commanders make good "drivers", Grievous is a good mid-range, Force-push figures are good "chip shots", and strikers are good for the close "putts"
You just play it like golf. Pick a place in your house to tee off from and try to knock down the "hole" in the least amount of shots possible. Where your missle stops is where you take the next shot.
Once you hit the hole. Remember your score and set it back up in the same spot for your opponent(s) to finish.
Go find a different place to start, or even just move the hole to a new location and start a new hole.
We played for a couple of hours. Some may not like the idea because it gets away from the Wargame aspect, but some of the younger fans (like my son) may love it. It's a great way to show off your shooting skills. Give it a try!
Help if you have any rules that may help. I'll add as we learn.

Yeah. That's awesome. Is there a difference if you knock it down or not?

Yeah, you have to knock it down. Hitting it doesn't count.

Sweet! I love this idea...I'll have to try it out. 'Course, my wife would probably kick my butt at it.

I wouldn't think so. In my understanding, you wouldn't move figures in the normal Attacktix way. Rather, you'd shoot at the hole, see where the shot landed, then place another figure at the spot where the shot landed, based on how close you are to the hole. No Tix required:)

Hmm...maybe if they made a TRON line of Attacktix, you could even have Attacktix Frisbee golf.

No tix involved unless your trapped against the wall. Then you can take a preset number of tix out from the wall. We use 6 tix.(Putt Putt rules) No shot penalty. But hey, House rules are the way to go.
