The object is to be the first player to make a shot from all positions of a pre-determine circuit around the basket. The circuit is normally, around the key or three point area. Making a shot from a spot allows the player to advance to the next spot. A shooter keeps advancing until a missed shot.

At this point, the shooter has the options of either staying at that spot and passing the ball to the next shooter or “Chancing it.” When a player “Chances it,” they take another shot. If it is made, they continue to the next spot. However, if they miss they go back to the start and lose their turn. Players keep alternating turns on misses until one of the players goes “Around the World” making a shot at every spot on the circuit.

This game can be played with one or more players.
