パンドド! (Brea-do-do!)

パンドド！ (Brea-do-do!) is a dexterity game from Japan, with players flicking bread into goals, as in Billiards or Carrom. Each player has a different character, as various Japanese anime schoolchildren, and these are shown in flat acrylic cut-out shapes in dramatic action poses. The player places the figure flat and flicks it with their finger, to strike the bread token and propel them to a goal. The game board is a cloth, printed with a school lunchroom occupied by lots of kids, and a dinner-lady in the centre dolling out the last lunch, "Here you go! This is the last yakisoba bread of the day!". Around the four edges, wooden batons are placed, to keep the cloth flat and provide a wall to bounce shots off. A flat loaf of bread is dropped in the centre. Each player enters the arena from their goal in the corner by flicking their character towards the bread. Players continue to take turns, flicking their pieces to drive the bread into another player's corner and so score a goal. Players can play it as a fun party game, or take turns using each character for added strategy. --user summary
