A mini table top version of Mölkky made in eco-friendly wood and great for indoors. The players use a wooden throwing pin (also called "Mölkky" or "Tikku") to try to knock over wooden pins (the "skittles") of almost similar dimensions, which are marked with numbers from 1 to 12. The pins are initially placed in a tight group in an upright position. Knocking over one pin scores the amount of points marked on the pin. Knocking 2 or more pins scores the number of pins knocked over. After each throw, the pins are stood up again in the exact location where they landed. The first one to reach exactly 50 points wins the game. Scoring more than 50 will be penalised by setting the player's score back to 25 points. A player will be eliminated from the game if they miss all of the target pins three times in a row.
