Ruler Battle

The Ruler War (Jogi-Bato) is way too fun to be contained within just recess time!!

It’s a game where rulers lined up on a desk are flicked one by one with a pen, with the aim of knocking the opponent’s ruler off the desk.

The classic flicking method is to press the ruler with the pen, and the ruler’s movement changes depending on how much force you use and the angle of the pen.

Deciding where to hit the opponent’s ruler and how to apply force to achieve that are key strategic points for securing a win.

The game’s details—such as which pens and rulers are allowed, flicking techniques, and victory conditions other than knocking a ruler off—are finely customized by generation and region, so adding new rules on the spot can make it even more exciting.
