Overview

What ABG knows about this game

This is a simulation of Ten pin bowling. The game comes in a championship format with many (hundreds)of different bowlers and all with their own personal cards. There are two main types of play; One is to literally roll a twenty sided die down the cardboard lane into an area that gives you a result. Cross reference that result with the bowlers card to get a pin fall. The second type of play is to roll the twenty sided die and cross reference the number rolled with various charts. There is a 'championship' mode and league mode as well as 'real' and fictional bowlers. A fun, short and accurate representation of the sport.
