HOW TO PLAY
1

Arrange the nine skittle pins upright in a diamond formation at the far end of the alley.

2

Each player rolls the ball or disc down the alley toward the pins from a marked starting line.

3

Points are scored based on how many pins are knocked down in a set number of rolls, often three per turn.

4

Fallen pins may be left in place for the rest of a player's turn in some house rules, making later rolls trickier.

5

After an agreed number of rounds, the player with the highest total score wins.
