This
game is thought to have been originally a Western European game -
it's still played in France and Benelux where it's known as Table
à Toupie and Toptafel, respectively. Nowadays, however, it seems to
be more popular in North America where it's usually called just 'Skittles'.
The idea is to spin a top into the game where it buzzes around the
game surface and into the rooms. Points are scored AND deducted by
knocking over skittles - whoever collects the most points wins!
This game has been produced by the talented craftsmen
and students of Berea, Kentucky for more than 70 years. Each one is
beautifully hand-made in Tulip Poplar, the skittles turned to a high
standard. The craftmen take pride in the differing grains and tones
of the wood and no two products are alike. The games are sanded smooth
and then finished with a hard clear lacquer coating.
A matching stand for the game is also available.
The game measures 19 x 46 x 5 inches, comes
with 15 skittles, 3 tops, full rules and a set of scorecards.
The wood is usually of the lighter shade seen in the smaller
pictures (the larger picture is deceptively red). It's a game
of luck that is great for parties and other fun events.
A complete accessory set is also available consisting
of 15 pins, 2 tops and a set of strings.
Note: All games are shipped from a distribution point
in the USA.
