How to Play Face-Off

by Crazy Ivan

Yet another fun Myachi game was born over the past week.  I first heard about it today, but apparently this was an idea Bones had a week ago or so and I was just late to the party.

The name of the game is "Face Off" and it's mad simple.  Pretty much anybody can play even if they've never played Myachi before.  That being said, there's definitely an advantage to having the kind of weird experience that only long term Myachi players ever really have.

The object of the game is to throw your Myachi further than anybody else.  You set up a line and everybody takes three shots from the line.  Whoever's Myachi goes furthest is the winner.  Now, if this sounds too simple to be the game, that's because it is.  There's a key rule that changes everything:

The Myachi must be thrown from your head.

Changes things a bit, does it not?  Not only does this make the game way more challenging, it also makes it way more fun for the others who are watching.  Just imagine how goofy looking somebody would be trying to throw a Myachi really hard from their face.  In fact, why bother imagining it when you can see Unknown and I playing and judge for yourself:



You'll note that the last throw I do (the one that goes way farther than the others) is from a Brain Freeze rather than a Faceplant.  The official rules of the game are yet to be written so I'll have to ask Bones what the rules are regarding where on the head you can throw from.

One way or the other it's mad fun and kind of goofy so it gets everyone smiling.  I noticed after playing for just a few minutes that having a good sliding sack like a Silver Bullet, a General, a Bedrock Red or a Vette was a huge advantage (not many Myachi games where those are the ideal sacks) so try to make sure everyone is using similar fabrics if you want to keep things fair.

Also, stretch out a bit before you play this one... I found that out the hard way.
