Mölkky is a Finnish lawn tossing game that involves strategy and skill. The playing pieces are made of solid kiln-dried hardwood. You toss the throwing dowel underhand and knock over the skittles. Knock over one skittle and get the amount of points posted on that skittle, knock multiple skittles and get the amount of points equaling the amount of skittles knocked over. First to 50 wins!
