Description

This skittles game lines up six painted birch wood soldiers, each in a tall black bearskin hat with a yellow plume, a bright red tunic with three yellow buttons and black boots. Every soldier wears the same painted face, with closed eyes, a curled black moustache and a small red smile, so the row looks like a tiny guard on parade. A smooth yellow ball, also in birch, completes the set. Each skittle stands about 11cm tall and 2.5cm across, and the ball is about 3.8cm across, so it sits neatly in the palm for an easy roll.

Set the soldiers out in a triangle on the kitchen table or a smooth floor, roll the ball and see how many of the guard you can topple. It is a simple game that anyone can pick up, which makes it a good choice for a rainy afternoon, a family games night or a quiet hour of play. Because each skittle is only 11cm tall, the whole game tucks away into a drawer or toy box without fuss. Between games the soldiers stand happily on a bookshelf or windowsill, where their red, black and yellow add a cheerful splash of colour to a playroom, bedroom or living room.

Both the skittles and the ball are made from birch wood and finished in solid, glossy paint, with each soldier's face, buttons and plume picked out in fine detail. Every skittle flares out to a rounded black base so it stands steady until the ball arrives. Care is simple: wipe the pieces with a soft, damp cloth, dry them straight away and keep them out of standing water so the paint and wood stay at their best. Wrapped up, this set of wooden soldiers makes a cheerful present, and it looks just as good lined up on a shelf as it does scattered across the floor at the end of a game.

Frequently Asked

How big are the soldier skittles and the ball?

Each soldier skittle stands about 11cm tall and 2.5cm across, and the yellow ball is about 3.8cm across, so the game is compact enough for a tabletop.

What are the skittles and ball made from?

The skittles and the ball are all made from birch wood, painted in bright red, black, cream and yellow for a cheerful, traditional look.

What comes in the skittles game?

The game has six soldier skittles and one yellow ball, enough to set out in a neat triangle for a proper round of skittles.

How should I clean the wooden skittles?

Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth and dry them straight away, since keeping painted wood out of standing water helps the finish last.

Can the soldiers be displayed when the game is not in use?

Yes, the flared base lets each painted soldier stand steadily on a shelf or windowsill, adding a bright splash of red to a room between games.
