How to Play Pedestrian Polo

In the spirit of the wildly successful game Traffic, we give you it's evil twin, Pedestrian Polo.

OBJECT OF THE GAME

To score as many points as possible by fulfilling achievements that involve impacting your car against pedestrians at a speed of no less than 15 MPH (unless otherwise noted).

REQUIRED TO PLAY

- A car.
- Bumper protectors (like the ones you see on cop cars) are recommended but optional.

RULES

Pedestrian Polo is like making car payments: it never ends. The moment you get behind the wheel, the game is on; you have a chance to score fresh achievements and get ahead of your friends. The ongoing, honor-based point system keeps drivers constantly on the lookout for new pedestrians.

As a rule of thumb, double your point value for striking two pedestrians simultaneously; triple for three, and so on. Also, double all your points if you are a professional driver (bus, taxi, race car, etc).
