My SHL game requires a minimum of 4 people to play but can be played up to a total of 12. Each person chooses a character token that represents SHL greats from every era. Once everyone has their player card, they must pull a token from a bag. There should be the same number of tokens as the number of players. If there are an even number of players, then half the tokens should be red, the other half blue. If there are an odd number of players, then there should be an even number of blue and red, and one black token. Once everyone chooses a token, they place it in front of their player. These are the teams for this round. The teams then decide what SHL team they want to represent that round and place a jersey on their player character. If a player selects a black token, they are the “Referee”. They will, in effect, sit out this round… however you may also require them to be the drink bitch. Once teams are selected, the round begins. Players will face off against a person of the other team. Players play Rock/Pay/Scissors/Lizard/Spock. If more players on one team wins than the other, a small hockey puck token can be moved towards the “goal”. Example, If Red team wins 3 and Blue 1, the puck can be moved 2 spaces towards the goal. This continues until the puck is advanced into the goal. The goal is 7 spaces in each direction from the centerline. Once a goal is scored, the round is over. Everyone on the winning team collects a “point” chit. Then teams are chosen again as before. If there are an odd number of players, the “referee” keeps their referee token and a new one is added to the bag. A person cannot be referee a second time until everyone has been referee once. After a specified number of rounds, the game is over and whomever has the most point chits is the winner.
