What to Expect

You experience a statistical replay of Olympic archery events from 1972 to 2008. Rolling two dice on three tables determines the score for each arrow shot in rounds of 12 or 18 arrows. The game focuses solely on solo play and recreates the competition with realistic data. There is no player interaction, just pure simulation.

Who Is This Game For?

Olympic Archery is designed for solo players aged 12 and up who enjoy sports simulation games. It is a medium complexity game lasting about 90 minutes. Prior experience with dice mechanics is helpful but not required.

How It Works

The core mechanic is Dice Rolling: you roll two dice and consult tables to find the score for each arrow shot. Three different tables represent various competition scenarios. This creates a statistically accurate replay of Olympic archery events. You play alone aiming for the best possible score.
