Description
This wooden skittles set brings a classic game of skittles home, with six beech skittles and two beech balls. Each skittle keeps the warm, pale grain of natural beech on its body and wears a bright coloured head in orange, yellow, lime green, aqua, blue or purple, so every pin in the line-up is easy to tell apart. One ball is left in natural wood and the other is finished in a soft grey, which makes it simple to see whose ball is whose. The skittles have the traditional rounded shape, with a slim neck above a fuller body that stands steadily on a flat surface.
It is a game for a long hallway, a clear stretch of floor or a big kitchen table, wherever there is room to roll a ball. Stand the skittles up at one end, take turns to bowl from the other and count how many fall in a single go. It suits a rainy afternoon indoors, a lively evening of friendly competition or a quiet round between two players, and with nothing to plug in or switch on, it is ready to play whenever you are. Between games, the plain wood and cheerful colours look good set out on a shelf.
Both the skittles and the balls are made from beech, a hardwood with a smooth, close grain that feels good in the hand. The set comes in a card box with a rope carry handle and a front window, so it tidies away neatly after play and is easy to take to a friend's house. To keep the wood at its best, we suggest dusting it with a soft dry cloth, wiping away any marks with a slightly damp cloth and letting it dry fully, and keeping the set out of the wet. Boxed and ready to go, it makes a cheerful present for anyone who loves a game at home.
