Also known as “nine pin”, skittles has been played for over 500 years in England… so it must be good! The aim of the game is simple: throw the balls at the skittles! Whoever makes the most points from knocking the skittles down wins.
How to play: Your ‘playing alley’ is a straight course that can be as long or as short as you want – but the official length is roughly 8 metres from the bowling line to the first skittle. Simply set up the skittles in a diamond shape formation, with the kingpin (the one with the red top) in the middle. Then, players knock down the skittles by throwing the black balls at them. The more skittles you knock down, the higher your points are, and the person or team with the most points wins!
