Tischkegelspiel (table skittles)

Since the game is a miniaturised version of Skittles, the game is played in the same way. A coin should be tossed to see who takes the first turn. The skittles are only reset at the beginning of a turn or when all nine have been knocked over. Three throws per turn are allowed so that the maximum score in one go is twenty-seven. The ball must be start its revolution around the outside of the board so that it hits the skittles upon its return towards the player. The ball is permitted to go around the pole only once for each throw - the player should catch it as it returns so as to prevent it going round a second time.
