Batterack is a game centered around fierce foam fighting. We make swords out of PVC-pipe padded with pool noodles, and then we hit each other with them. It's a lot of fun and great excercise.
Batterack is simpler and safer than many similar games. We're trying to have fun. We're not interested in hurting people or complicated rules. We're not trying to create live-action Dungeons and Dragons. There is no chanting or memorizing spells. There is no complex system of tracking hits and special abilities. Batterack is simple and easy to learn.
In Batterack, we sometimes dress in medieval costumes. Trust us, it makes the game more fun. We have duels, quests, tournaments, and battles. We make weapons, shields, and costumes.
The easiest way to play Batterack is to find a local group on this website. If there isn't a group near you, we can help you start your own group. It doesn't cost a lot to make weapons, and you only need a few people to play.
