St. Louis Public Library Board Games @ Central

Welcome to the Board Games @ Central LibGuide! This guide provides information about the board game collection at the St. Louis Public Library's Central Branch.

Slapshot

From the Librarian: Slapshot is a fast-paced card game where players manage hockey teams, trading players and drafting new talent to build the ultimate championship squad. If you love hockey and enjoy the thrill of building a winning team, Slapshot is the perfect game for you.

From the Publisher: Slapshot is a wheeling, dealing game for hockey fans. Each player assumes the role of team manager. The object is to skillfully manage your team into the playoffs and then win the championship. During the regular season you can improve your team with drafts and trades, but injuries can upset the best of plans. Ultimately, your skill as manager determines if your team wins or loses.

Slapshot includes 54 zany hockey players like Slash Gordon, Puck Rogers, Ian Jury, Cheap Shot, Le Goon, and Jack the Tripper. The new edition has high-quality playing cards. Slapshot is fast, furious, fun, and simple to play.

Slapshot was originally designed by Tom Dalgliesh and published in 1975 under the name Team by Gamma Two Games. The game has been printed under license several times since.
