Pock

Pock takes the classic satisfaction of rolling dice and throws it wide open — literally. Played outdoors with oversized dice, two teams face off in a game of aim, tactics, and just enough chaos to keep everyone on their toes. Roll your dice as close to the Maros as you can, knock your opponents out of position, and rack up points before the other team does. First to 50 wins.

The twist is in the scoring. Only the dice closest to each Maro count at the end of a round, so a well-placed roll can undo everything the other team has built up. Hit a die showing the POCK face and your team scores 5 points on the spot. Land near a Maro showing the skull side and your die is eliminated entirely. Every roll matters, and the lead can flip in an instant.

Simple to pick up and genuinely fun to play, Pock works equally well in the garden, at the beach, or at a family gathering. No experience needed — just good aim and a bit of nerve.
