The Chicago Foam Sword Game

• A session includes 10-15 minutes of rule explanation and team setup and time for 2-3 games.
• Each team starts with five sword wielders whose goal is to get the Maceball from the opposing team and score a point in the opposing team’s bucket.
• Players make their way down the field and if they are tagged “out” they go down on a knee, and a Healer player comes onto the field and takes their sword to the next player waiting in line.
• The round is over when the Maceball is scored into the opposing team’s bucket without being tagged out!
• Rules of the game- Sword wielders use a light touch dueling, which means that they do not swing hard and with force, and instead take a fencing strategy where they deflect attacks and try to tag the other players out of the round with their sword. If a player swings hard, they are automatically out.

Recommended for participants 8 years or older. Anyone 13 years and under will need a supervising adult.

Maceball uses foam swords and light touch dueling. A Forge Adventure guide will set you up with all the equipment you need for fun and safe, competitive games including face shields.
