What is skittle bowling?

Skittle bowling is a traditional bowling game that originated in Britain. It is played on a wooden alley that is typically about 30 feet long. The pins used in skittle bowling are smaller and thinner than those used in standard tenpin bowling, and there are typically nine pins arranged in a diamond shape.

The object of the game is to knock down as many pins as possible in each turn. Players typically take turns rolling a small wooden ball at the pins, and the player with the highest total score at the end of the game is the winner.

Skittle bowling is still played in some areas of England, particularly in pubs and social clubs, though the popularity of the game has decreased in recent years. There are also variations of the game played in other parts of the world, including the United States, where it is sometimes called nine-pin bowling.
