Question

How many washers are used in the game?

Community Answer

Typically, the game is played with six washers. Each team gets three. It is a good idea to paint the washers different colors to better keep track of points.

Question

What are the rules to play?

Community Answer

There are two teams of two, and team members stand on opposite sides of each other. Each player will throw all three in a row. In the box is one point, in the center is three. The other team throws from the same side and anything that lands in the same area as the opposing team is cancelled. Play to 21.
