I was so excited when I discovered this app. My dad had a board so I had played the game numerous times as a boy and was actually quite good at it.
However, my excitement at finding the app soon turned to utter despair when after three unsuccessful attempts to download the game, I had to abandon all hope of making it work. I was almost in tears. I was so disappointed!
SHOVE IPHONE - THE RULES
Lightly chalk a series of equally-spaced horizontal lines on your desk.
Place your iPhone on the edge of the desk - portrait style.
Make sure it is slightly overhanging the edge and with the palm of your hand skilfully whack the iPhone, attempting to position it centrally between two of the chalked lines.
This scores a point.
The next player can only participate if they have exactly the same size model - the iPhone SE is an excellent choice.
The second player then takes their turn ...
Again, the idea is to strike their iPhone in such a way as to make it land between two of the chalked lines.
A second point can be earned if player 2 manages to “shove” player 1’s iPhone out of the bed, so that it touches one of the horizontal lines.
Shove iPhone is an ancient pub game that has been around since the days of Steve Jobs.
I recommend it as a far more reliable and fun alternative to the app on offer.
I hope others will comment and suggest additional rules to aid the game’s development.
Any iPhone will do but the SE or similar, older, square-sided versions of the phone (like the 5S) perform far better than the iPhone 8 or the iPhone X and its various 2018 varieties.
Enjoy!
