Each game of Knock Down Barns begins with two players designing and building their own structure out of small rectangular blocks of reclaimed barn wood. Building is done in secret behind a barn wood divider that crosses the center of the barn wood (or bamboo) playing board. Many strategies are used in building a solid structure as to withstand attack from your opponent. Once both players finish building a structure that is taller than the center divider, the divider is removed before the battle begins. Cylindrical foam weapons are fired by flicking them at each others' structure. Alternate shots and the first player to completely clear the blocks off of their opponent's side of the board wins. It is customary to shake hands with your opponent after every game of #KdB. Remember, You can always build again!
