How many players can play Kapti?
Kapti is designed for friendly competition and can be played by two teams or multiple players, with each team aiming to control the stakes.
Can I use Kapti on a hard surface like a patio?
Yes, Kapti can be played on most flat outdoor surfaces. However, ensure the stakes are stable; you may need to place them carefully or use a different playing area if the surface is too uneven or slippery.
What does 'Kapti' mean in the game?
'Kapti' refers to a game mechanic where you can capture your opponent's discs by landing your disc on top of theirs.
What does 'Reverse Kapti' mean?
'Reverse Kapti' is a special move where if your disc lands upside down on top of an opponent's disc, you can capture it.
How do you win the game of Kapti?
You win by controlling two out of the three Kapti stakes at the end of your turn, or by holding all three stakes at the end of your turn. Collected discs also count as extra points.
Is the wood treated or sealed?
The product description states it is made from 100% certified wood. Specific treatment details are not provided, but it's recommended to store indoors to maintain its condition.
Troubleshooting
Discs not landing close enough to stakes.
Practice throwing technique; focus on a smooth release and aiming for the base of the stakes. Adjust the distance of team stakes if the area is too large or small for the players' skill level.
Difficulty understanding the rules.
Refer to the included instructions for a detailed explanation of setup and gameplay, including 'Kapti' and 'Reverse Kapti' actions. Watching online gameplay videos can also be helpful.
Wooden stakes are wobbly in soft ground.
Gently push the stakes further into the ground for stability. If playing on very soft sand, consider placing them on a firmer surface nearby.
Carry bag zipper is stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate the zipper.
