Pine Wood Throwing Game

A throwing game made of 12 numbered wooden cones measuring 5.5 x 15 cm and a throwing stick that is 24 cm long.

An outdoor game that combines throwing and scoring elements. The objective of the game is to be the first to reach exactly 50 points by throwing the numbered wooden blocks.

Required Equipment:

12 wooden skittles, numbered 1–12 (each skittle measures 5.5 x 15 cm).

A throwing stick (length: 24 cm) used to knock over the skittles.

Game Setup:

Arrange the 12 skittles upright on the ground in a certain pattern (e.g., three rows or any other wide formation).

Players or teams can choose their throwing order.

Gameplay:

Throwing: Players take turns throwing the stick to hit the skittles.

Scoring:

When a player knocks over a skittle, they score the number shown on the skittle. For example, if a player knocks over skittle number 5, they score 5 points.

If a player knocks over more than one skittle at once, they score the sum of the numbers on those skittles. For example, if skittles 3 and 7 are knocked over, the player scores 10 points (3 + 7).

Collecting Points: Players aim to collect exactly 50 points. If a player exceeds 50 points, their score is reset to 25 points.

End of the Game:

The game ends when a player or team reaches exactly 50 points. If a player exceeds 50 points, their score is reduced back to 25.
