Pins arranged in a fixed pattern within swinging reach of the anchored string

HOW TO PLAY
1

Set up the wooden pins in the traditional pattern near the anchor post.

2

Take the ball at the end of the string and swing it like a pendulum toward the pins.

3

Aim your swing to knock down as many pins as possible in one pass.

4

Take turns swinging, tallying points based on which pins topple.

5

Reset the pins after each turn and keep score across an agreed number of rounds.

6

Whoever has the highest pin count when rounds end wins.
