Hockey Hardware is a tabletop game made for hockey fans, gamers, and fantasy hockey GMs, but anyone can play, have fun, and win. No hockey knowledge or experience is needed. This game is socially interactive, competitive, and unpredictable. No two games are the same, and no lead is safe. Players must use a combination of luck and strategy to win.
At the start of the game, take on the role of a hockey player. You will start as either a Forward on Line 2 or as a Defense on Pair 2 in either the East or West Conference.
On your turn, collect as many hockey stats as you can by rolling dice, avoiding Adversity, and strategically playing Game Cards. Game Cards reflect different hockey actions that can help you get ahead or push your opponents back.
The more hockey stats you collect, the more likely you will earn different Trophy Cards. Players compete for 11 Trophy Cards throughout the game, which consists of 15 rounds divided into 3 periods and 2 intermissions in a Game Schedule.
The player with the most Trophy Cards by the end of the Third Period earns the Champion's Cup and wins the game!
