Hey all of you Molkky enthusiasts, don’t forget to check the official website of the Molkky World Championship Games.

The games will be held in Lahti, Finland, August 18-19th.  Still time to register!  Your team could be the FIRST to represent USA in the great sport of Molkky.  Lots of other cool things to see and do in Lahti - I’m from there, I know!

A refresher for everyone about the rules, as there has been some confusion.  Have fun and keep knocking those skittles down!

How to play

1. Players: two or more
2. Place the numbered skittles (1-12) four meters away from the throwing spot in a close group
3. Draw the throwing order of the players
4. Each player throws the Mölkky skittle at the numbered skittles. Using only underarm throws.

If you knock one skittle down, your score is the number marked on the fallen skittle. If you knock more than one skittle down, your score is the total number of fallen skittles. E.g. if you knock 3 skittles down, your score is 3 points regardless of the numbers marked on the skittles. If you miss all the skittles three times in a row you are out of the game.

Before the turn goes to the next player, set all the skittles up in exactly the same place they fell. Do not move them. The winner is the player who first reaches exactly 50 points. If you score more than 50 points your score goes down to 25 points.
