About Bumper Bowl Game
Bumper Bowl gives you a moment to think before you send a ship across the arena. Look at what’s behind the opponent as well as the ship itself. A gentle nudge toward a hazard can be worth more than a powerful hit into open space.
The team screen shows mass, speed and armor for each driver. You can compare them before filling the four places in your team. I’d give the slower, heavier ships some thought as well as the fast ones. The distance a ship can cover is only part of what you’re trying to do with a shot.
How to Play Bumper Bowl Game
Destroy the opposing ships and keep your own team in the arena.
- Read Instructions, then choose Play. Fill the team slots, pick different drivers and enter a team name.
- On your turn, click a ship and drag to pull its engine back. Release to send it sliding in the other direction.
- Look for a shot that sends an enemy into a hazard. A longer pull sends your ship farther, so leave room for where it will finish.

Tips for a better round
- Before releasing a shot, trace where your own ship could end up after the impact. A good first hit can still leave it beside a hazard.
