"For 2 or more players (two teams). Ages 8 to adult.
"There isn't much time left in the Slam Dunk Grand Final, & the opposing team is one point ahead.
"It's your turn but the team cards show your player with the ball has the worst shooting range in the team. Will you turn over a game card & try to pass to your best shooter or will you take a chance with the dice on a fast break. Only you can decide.
"The Slam Dunk Board Game has been created in Australia by professional basketball players. It is a game of strategy, chance & trivia, & reproduces the entire basketball contest with passing, two & three point shots, turnovers, rebounds & fouls.
"As Andrew Gaze says the Slam Dunk Board Game has all the excitement [sic] & action of real Basketball."
