The opportunity to convert basketball to a board game has been afforded through an unusual vehicle. A unique, patented, specialy designed pair of dice for each player to roll. Unlike traditional dice, Spot-A-Shot^TM dice are not enumerated one, two, three, four, five, six. There is one letter A, one number 1, two number 2's and two number 3's.

Rolling an A allows one player to enter the board. Once on the floor the game moves exceedingly quickly as each player alternates rolling the dice. The object is to move all five players onto the board and have each player successfully navigate spots one through 16. A spot inside the arc counts two points and the player must roll a 2 to move to the next spot. When outside the arc, three point scoring territory, a player must roll a 3 to advance. The last shot is from the free throw line and the player must roll a 1 to exit the board. First player to have all 5 players exit the board is the winner. If the only move you can make is to a space occupied by another player, you must make this move and return the player that was on this space to "Home." This player must then reenter the board at the #1 spot with the roll of an A.

As in all games played with dice, there are certain frequencies and law of averages to consider. Spot-A-Shot^TM greatly increases the opportunity for close play because there are only 4 number/letter possibilities, unlike the six numbers on traditional dice. The result is a game that is rarely decided by more than a point or two. The competitive feature of playing Spot-A-Shot^TM increases the fun and intensity for all players.
