Featured Game of the Month STAGECOACH Rules
GAME OVERVIEW:
Two teams of players, Bandits and Escorts, compete to secure Loot bags in a standard elimination game mode with 10 second respawns. Loot-carrying Stagecoaches (wheelchairs), armed with a Gunner, will periodically travel through the map. Stagecoaches are armored, and totally invincible to all projectiles! The Escorts win by protecting Stagcoaches until they reach the Depot. The Bandits win by using Dynamite to destroy Stagecoaches, steal the Loot, and carry it back to their Spawn zone! The team with the most Loot secured by the end of the game wins!
GAME DETAILS:
Setting The Scene:
A heist is afoot in the lawless Old West! In a barren gulch, Stagecoaches transport valuable Loot to the next town. The Stagecoaches are well protected by Escorts, but Bandits armed with explosives are planning a robbery to steal the goods!
General Objectives:
Players are split into two teams - the Escorts and the Bandits. Bandits are identified by a bandana tied around the neck. The Escorts protect Loot-carrying Stagecoaches until they reach the Depot, while the Bandits try to destroy the stagecoach and steal the Loot! Escorts gain points for every successful delivery to the Depot, and Bandits gain points for every bag of Loot stolen! To steal Loot, the Bandit team will need to retrieve a Dynamite bundle, use it to destroy a Stagecoach, and bring the Loot bag to their spawn.
Spawn Rules:
Each team has a Spawn zone, where they will begin at the start of the match. Whenever a player is tagged, they are now out of play - they must drop gameplay items, put their hand up, and return to Spawn. At Spawn, they must count for 10 seconds before they may return to play.
The Stagecoaches:
The Stagecoach is an invincible wheelchair crewed by two players, carrying a bag of Loot. Stagecoaches are not affected by darts of any kind, they can only be destroyed by Dynamite!
Dynamite:
Dynamite bundles are a throwable Bandit item that will be scattered around the map. Escorts cannot touch Dynamite at any point - Because stealing is wrong! Toss Dynamite at a Stagecoach! If Dynamite successfully hits any part of the Stagecoach (crew players or equipment), then the Stagecoach is destroyed!
Loot:
Loot bags are items dropped by destroyed Stagecoaches. Any player may carry Loot, but must use both hands and should not throw them - this is very important for safety. Bandits take the Loot to their Spawn to earn points. Escorts can’t get points from Loot, but they can protect the Loot to prevent Bandits from scoring points!
Safety rules:
Stagecoaches will move at a slow walking pace. Players may play near the Stagecoaches, but should be careful not to collide with the Stagecoach or obstruct it from moving. Please avoid hitting the Stagecoach crew with darts.
