Mechanics
Description

Skittle-Bowl is a transformation of the public domain game known as, among other things, Table Skittles or Bar Skittles. That earlier game used a nine-pin bowling set-up familiar across Europe, whereas Skittle-Bowl adopted the set-up, gameplay, and scoring of the ten-pin bowling game popular in the United States. All-time PBA Bowling champion Dick Weber endorsed the game as "the next best thing to having a bowling alley in your living room".
