Basse (game)

The basse is made with several rubber rings tied together to a round ball with a tight core.

Create fields (typically circles that are referred to as "ruter", or squares) on any surface (gravel, tarmac, grass or indoors).

The optimal number of players are 5–7, but 8–9 can play a game of basse, depending on the field and space available.

If you concede a goal (i.e. the basse must land completely inside the circle and not touch the edge), you get one minus point.

You must defend your circle and the players can hit the basse with all body limbs, except arms and hands.
