Rocket Siege
Destroy the Fortress
The Goal: Knock down the enemy's fortress before they destroy yours!
Setup
- Two teams, each with their own launcher
- Teams set up 75-100 feet apart
- Each team builds a fortress with 15-20 plastic cups
- Fortress must be within a marked 3x3 foot zone
- Teams build their OWN fortress (design matters!)
Fortress Examples
Pyramid (15 cups)
Wall (15 cups)
Tower (15 cups)
How to Play
- Teams alternate launching at each other's fortress
- Each team gets one launch per turn
- Knocked-over cups stay down (no rebuilding!)
- First team to knock down ALL enemy cups wins!
- If time runs out, team with fewer standing cups wins
Scoring Variants
- Total Destruction: First to knock down all cups wins
- Timed Battle: 10 minutes - most cups knocked down wins
- Point Values: Top cups = 3 pts, middle = 2 pts, bottom = 1 pt
- Rebuild Mode: Each team can rebuild 3 cups per round (longer game)
Strategy Tip: Fortress design matters! Pyramids are stable but easy to topple from the side. Walls protect a wide area but fall in one hit. Spread-out designs are harder to destroy completely. Experiment!
