Irish Skittles
Irish Skittles
Yes, they play a skittles game in Ireland.
It looks as though the term "skittle" refers to both the projectiles ("throwers") and the pins ("standers"). Five skittles stand inside a ring and you have to knock them out of the ring - not just knock them over.
Les Quilles
Les Quilles de 9
(English language version)
It's skittles, Jim, but not as we know it.
Take a look at this excellent site.
It describes the game with the aid of diagrams and
short video clips.
The game looks devilishly complicated and I still don't understand it,
but it's not for want of trying on their part.
There are also links to other forms of French Skittles.
