ULTIMATE Boardgame Dedicated to the Sport of Ultimate Freesbee
Ultimate is a fast and incredibly funny sport, easy to learn and playable by anyone. I had the honour to be selected for Ultimate National Italian Team back in 1988, and play in the World Championship in Leuven, Belgium, together with National Teams from, Australia, Japan, South Africa, the USA, Canada, from many countries of Europe and around the World. It was an amazing experience. Now, 20 years later, being a game designer, I decided to dedicate to this great sport a boardgame. It is similar, in game concept and field, to American Football: you score 1 point if you receive the disk in your opponent End Zone, but here there is no contact between athlets and no referee. The Utimate Spirit is: be honest, play at your best, respect opponent and JUST HAVE FUN!. ULTIMATE
is an home made boardgame, created and illustrated by Angelo
Porazzi. I ship any of the homemade games you see on my website every day worldwide; Visa, PayPal are available: just choose what you like on WWW.WARANGEL.IT and I will ship these games I enjoy create and Illustrate at your home, with no problems, as soon as I have personally prepared each order. Shipping contribution

HOW TO PLAY ULTIMATE is a boardgame for 2 players, dedicated to the sport of Ultimate Freesbee. In the
real sport and in the Ultimate
boardgame, two teams of 7 athletes compete to launch and
receive a Freesbee in the opponent's end zone, scoring 1
point. The game
board is a hexed field. When an athlete receives the disc, he must stop in place, but his teammates may still run and receive the disc. In doing so, the team attempts to receive the disc inside the opponent's end zone. Before launching, the player must declare the pattern of the disc that, on the hexed field, may be along a straight line or along a "two segments line" forming an angle of 120 degrees, see pattern examples on rulesheet . The team
on defense can move one athlete per turn trying to: Defenders may intercept if they are close to launcher or receiver and if the disc pattern is over or adjacent to them. All athlets have different bonus for launching, receiving and defending. This game is very easy, much more easy to play than to explain. Only must is: roll your dice in a REAL DISC, see first picture of this page, and you'll win!;) ULTIMATE
