HOW TO PLAY
1

Set the nine pins upright in a diamond arrangement at the end of a narrow wooden lane.

2

Each player rolls the ball down the lane by hand, trying to knock down as many pins as possible.

3

Players usually get a fixed number of rolls per turn, with the pins reset between turns or left standing depending on the house variation chosen.

4

Special shots, such as knocking down all nine pins in one roll, may earn bonus points under agreed local rules.

5

Scores are tallied across several rounds, and the player with the highest total when play ends wins.
