HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDA soft ball and three to ten empty plastic bottles or light cups
  1. 1Arrange the pins in a triangle and mark a rolling line.
  2. 2Each player rolls up to twice per frame. Count one point for every pin knocked down, leaving fallen pins down between the first and second roll.
  3. 3Reset all pins after the second roll and pass the ball to the next player. Play five frames; the highest total wins, with one extra frame for a tie.
  4. 4Solo players record a five-frame score, then add a curved lane, split formation, or farther line and try again.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Strike step-backBegin at the normal rolling line. After every strike, that player moves their personal line one footstep farther away; after a spare, it stays put. A player returns one step closer after an open frame, but never closer than the starting line. Highest score after five frames wins.
