Finska - The Perfect Game for Spring!
HOW TO PLAY
Players: 2-8 (can play individually or as teams)
Set up: set the 12 pins in a tight group as shown below
How to play: players take it in turns to underarm throw the ‘Finska’ (log) at the pins with the aim, like bowling, to knock them down.
After each throw the score is determined and added to that person/teams tally. (If new tally exceeds 50 then it automatically drops back to 25)
Before the next player takes their turn, the fallen pins are placed upright when they lie - the idea being that the pins spread as the game continues.
To win: A person / team must score exactly 50 points
A person / team is eliminated if they score 0 on 3 consecutive tries
Scoring system
Multiple Pins: Player scores 1 point per pin knocked down eg: 8 pins over = 8 points
Single Pin: Player scores points marked on the pin eg: the 4 pin is knocked over = 4 points
NOTE: Pins must be fully flat to count as knocked over
