Overview

Gőzling is a pub-sport which was invented in 2009 at the Gőz winebar in Csepel, Budapest. The rules and the process of the game were primarily inspired by tennis and curling.
The game has been played and been evolving on a specific type wooden table at Gőz, but to experice the gameplay, any flat, (preferably) wooden surface could do.

Each player plays with a 4 piece set of 5Ft coins, one marked one unmarked.
The target coin is a 10Ft coin placed in the middle of the table. Each player has to slide its 5Ft coins one by one towards the target coin, being the main goal to finish closer to it than your opponent.
