An obscure game from the cold

This is a set of twelve numbered pins January to December accompanied by a wooden cylinder. You need using this reverse cylinder bowling, far apart from the absurd form of bocce ball, nothing very innovative.

Except that if you spill a single ball you mark the items on the keel while if you spill more you mark in the number of pins knocked down. In addition the pins are raised to where they are immobilized, resulting in a playground whenever very different and scalable.

Then the shape of the cylinder allows two types of pitches: flat to overthrow the maximum length bowling or when specific to a keel. But much like the rugby ball when the cylinder touches the ground before touching the pins, (it is not the Dieux du Stade anyway) false rebounds produce unexpected effects that can be pests.
Because the goal is to score 50 points, exactly. If you go, you will fall to 25 points, leaving your opponents the opportunity to rebuild.

It came quickly to not be directed at high value skittles, but the rules provide that after three unsuccessful launched the player is eliminated, precisely to make this dangerous tactic.

Unfortunately it is still difficult to apply such a rule when the goal is that everyone has fun, so I plan to punish points marking a defect of a return to 0 points.

This game frontally competing with bowls, a comparison is required.
Note that the Mölkky can be played on almost any terrain, provided they are not too steep, which is far from the case of petanque. Note also how to score and to win is more diverse than the bowls, which makes the game both more dynamic but perhaps also less accurate.

For now anyway Mölkky family prefers, for you to get an opinion!
