The first player rolls the coconut underhand along the ground, aiming to knock down as many pins as possible.

3

Retrieve the coconut and any fallen pins, resetting the standing ones before the next roll.

Pass the coconut to the next teammate, who takes their own roll down the same lane.

After every player has rolled once, the team with the most total pins knocked down wins.
