Skittle-Bowl*
Based on the ancient game of Alley Skittles or Nine Pins, this tabletop version was created in the 1700s, eliminating the need for a bowling lane. Players take turns swinging a ball attached to a chain to knock down nine pins arranged on a table. Revived as a family board game in the 20th century, it has been noted that children quickly grasp the mechanics, often outplaying adults.
