Let’s have some fun managing all-star basketball players using brain power (including ESP) to anticipate the moves of the opposing coach in this fast-paced and exciting card game!
As in real basketball, the object of Extra Sensory Perception “ESP” Basketball is to score more points than your opponent. Scoring occurs when each coach calls a play and points (0 through 10) are awarded using the ESP strategy chart card and player card ratings. Game play is as easy as that. But make no mistake, winning will require that you outsmart your opponent by using players wisely and anticipating the other coach's moves.
You, as coach, must try to maximize your team's skills during 45 minutes of challenging game play. Gamers looking for an abbreviated challenge can complete a shortened game in as little as 15 minutes. Game strategies remain the same. Solitaire rules are also provided for complete 10 minute games.
Sport fans will love ESP Basketball but you don't have to be a basketball enthusiast to enjoy the game. ESP is designed so that anyone looking for an exciting mental challenge will want to play.
Take on a friend in a head-to-head contest or co-coach a team in a party setting or at a family get-together. Either way ESP Basketball is a winner!
