Mölkky

Objective: The goal in Mölkky is to be the first to score exactly 50 points by knocking over numbered skittles.

Game Setup

The game consists of 12 numbered skittles (numbered 1 to 12) and a throwing pin (Mölkky).
On a flat area, the skittles are placed tightly in a pattern (typically a formation with two skittles in the front, then three, then four, then three):
Row 1: 1, 2
Row 2: 4, 3, 5
Row 3: 6, 7, 8, 9
Row 4: 10, 11, 12
Each player stands behind a designated throwing line, approximately 3-4 meters away from the skittles, depending on the desired difficulty.

In each round, a player throws the throwing pin from the throwing line to knock over skittles.
Scoring:
A single skittle knocked down gives the score equal to the number on the skittle.
Multiple skittles knocked down will give a score equal to the number of skittles knocked down.
The knocked skittles are then placed upright at the spot where they landed, constantly changing the playfield.
Players record their scores after each turn.
Winning: The first player to reach exactly 50 points wins. If a player goes over 50, their score is reduced to 25.
Three consecutive misses: A player who fails to knock down a skittle for three consecutive turns is eliminated from the game.

Accuracy is crucial, especially when nearing 50 points.
Aim to knock skittles into advantageous positions for your next move or disadvantageous positions for your opponents.
Always keep track of the current score to avoid overshooting 50 points.
