Strolling Bowling

Juniper Foo | Oct 13, 2006

When the site says this game has legs, it means exactly that. We were certainly bowled over when we came across this 10-pin miniature game that takes its own sweet time to score. That's right. Players wind up a little clockwork bowling ball, much like the kind you sometimes get with your McDonald's Value Meals, take aim, then wait as it strolls down the alley towards the popup pins. It's a hoot to watch as the windup bowling ball with clown feet rarely waddles towards the direction you've pointed it at. Since it appears to have two left feet, this takes a lot more luck than skill to score a strike. Great for a bowling-obsessed partner or friend.
