Bus Darts

This one sort of came from nowhere with some help from Rob and, naturally, Jon.

• It’s a game played on busses in a city about the size of Birmingham.
• The aim of the game is to score exactly 501 points.
• Points are gained by riding on busses and adding their service numbers to your score.
• For example, a ride on the 63 followed by a ride on the 8, then a ride on the 101 will give you 172.
• You on leaving a bus your next bus must be of a different number. (This is to close the “ten 50s and a 1″ loophole found by Jon.)
• You can only travel by a recognised bus service (no other vehicles allowed).
• When switching buses which stop at different stops the two stops must be on a line of sight or just around the corner, where “just around” is no more than 50 yards, give or take.
• If you are waiting at a stop that serves multiple bus numbers you must get the next bus that comes alone, even if it is the wrong number, and add that to your score. This is a “miss”.
• Optional advanced rule: Bus services with letters after their numbers count as negatives. This means your game is not over should you score above 501 and can switch to a negative bus.

This game has not been tested and further rules may be needed. I hereby submit it to BARG.

You’re welcome to play this game to your hearts content and to adapt it in any way that suits you. If you somehow manage to convince someone to pay you to do it you’re free to bung me a cheque. Just saying, like.
