Tactic - Mölkky wooden outdoor game

Mölkky is an outdoor throwing game that was originally popular in Scandinavia and is now played around the world. The wooden pins are numbered from 1 to 12 and are set up close together about three to four metres from the throwing area. A player who knocks down a single pin scores the number printed on it, while knocking down several pins scores the number of pins toppled. The aim is to reach exactly 50 points; going over that total drops the score back to 25.

The game requires no special physical strength, relying instead on accurate aim and a little strategy. A small open space, at least two players and the set itself are all you need. Boys and girls, children and adults can all take part.

The pins and accessories fit into a sturdy wooden box, which keeps everything together for storage between games.
