Default Remember the old game Skittles?

Mom and Dad had one and I remember us as kids then our children and some of the great grand kids at Mom's house enjoying playing the game. We have the holiday house so when Mom died it came home to us. So tonight we all got on the floor and enjoyed a rousting game of skittles. It was the first time my oldest grand daughter had played it. The little one played but wanted to get back to her art. Wonderful memories plus I enjoyed thinking about Mom and Dads house with all the different generations on the floor playing it. We also went ti the childrens museum here in town. I isn't the largest thing around but we had fun. Now I am pooped

How fun! And no batteries to charge! (I'm assuming - I don't know the game) I love playing the old classic games. After introducing my BFF near me to Aggravation, we play it almost every time we get together. We play Madd (like Uno), a dice game called Red *****, Phase 10, and a few others.

Cheap, good, fun!

I guess it could be called bowling Skittles. Your spinner goes down and knocks down these pins that look like bowling pins

It's a wooden top like spinner that comes with the game. It comes with two of them. I guess I am going to have to take a picture of the game and the spinner. I have a blind nephew, well he married my niece that is very mechanicaly minded. I can't wiat to see my neice teach him how to play it because once you release the spinner your part of the game is over, excpt for the hollering and laughing.
