HOW TO PLAY
1

A player rolls the small white jack out onto the green to set the target for the end.

2

Players take turns rolling their biased bowls, aiming to curve them around the sloped crown of the green toward the jack.

3

The bowl's bias makes it curve rather than run straight, so players must judge the green's slope with every roll.

4

Once all bowls are played, the bowl nearest the jack scores a point for its owner, plus one more point for each of their bowls closer than the opponent's nearest.

5

Players move to a fresh position on the green and repeat for the next end until an agreed score is reached.
