Pucket Game
We saw this game called pucket on Uncommon Goods a while back and have wanted to build it ever since. With the holiday gift ideas we thought this would be the perfect time. I’m going to be honest here, this game looks fun but it is even more fun in real life than you’d imagine. It was a quick and easy build and really only cost about $15 or less to make. Yet if you wanted to get carried away and make a really nice version out of oak or walnut or something crazy like that you totally could.

please help, i can’t get the bungees tied. did you use some sort of clip?
Pull/stretch the bungee out through the hole and tie a “figure eight” knot. Check Google for directions if you don’t know how.
What is diameter of the bungee? Do you think 3/16 inch would work?
Jamison, want to build this with my grandsons. One question: What is the purpose of the bungee? Also, do you use one puck as a shooter?
Checked Google and discovered that the bungee is the shooter. Now it makes sense.
Hi, I want to build a set but I’m confused. Why is the total width of the game 16 -1/2 inches, when the backboard is 15 inches long and the sides are 1 inch thick? The bottom is also 16-1/2 inches – what am I missing? Where does the remaining half an inch go?
1×2 is actually 3/4″ x 1-1/2″
hello, I came across this game on pinterest and then this DIY. I am concerned about the original creator of this great game. isn’t this copying ? I am not trying to be negative but we really need to encourage creators and entrepreneurs and little startups. Apologies if this has been addressed already.
Lol. I can guarantee you, 3/4 of ppl who go on pinterest, copy projects. Smh

Another winner set of plans, Jamison! Building this game for our grown kids for Christmas. My wife and I tested out the one I made for us… Things got intense 😉 Great job!
https://uploads.disquscdn.c… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…I saw these being advertised and thought they would be fun to create. Your plans made it really simple. I made a few tweaks: 3/4″ thick base board to make it heavier on the bottom; smaller pucks (1.25″) and opening (2″); added a matte varnish to the entire surface and pucks; and, rubber feet to prevent it from sliding on the tabletop. Thanks a bunch!
That looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
What tools do you use to create the center opening?
