Block Island
The object of the game is to strike all six dice with the suspended tennis ball to reach the total maximum points of 36 points.
Place the game on a level surface. Stack the dice into a pyramid shape on the elevated block. The player is to knock down the dice by pulling back and then releasing the tennis ball suspended from the chain. The dice that scatter are counted and tallied for points.
Hint: Have a specific point on the face of each dice always turned toward the players at the start of each new game to help keep the game “fair”. Determine in advance how many swings of the tennis ball each player should get per game. A point system will work great in order to reward the players accordingly. For example, If only four dice fall from the island, dice A lands on 5, dice B lands on 1, dice C lands on 3 and dice D lands on 5, the player has obtained a total of 14 points.

Bowling
Just like the real thing! Place the game on a level surface. Mark a line a couple of feet away from the front of the game that the bowlers may not cross. Roll the bowling ball down the bowling lane with as much force as possible. As the ball hits the pin(s) they will flip up and over, indicating the number of points earned.
Hint: A point system rewards the players. For example, each player gets a total of 4 rolls down the bowling lane and the point system is as such:
- 6 Pins: 100 Points "Strike"
- 5 Pins: 75 Points "Spare"
- 4 Pins: 40 Points
- 3 Pins: 30 Points
- 2 Pins: 20 Points
- 1 Pins: 10 Points

The object of the game is to score over 9 points and under 15 points if you are playing with 3 balls, and to score over 15 points and under 24 points if you are playing with 6 balls.
Place the game on a level surface. Place a ¼” thickness of cardboard (or whatever works) at the front end of the game to angle the playing surface back slightly so the balls don’t hang up on the dividers.
Have the player roll the balls, one at a time, towards the slots at the end. As the balls land in the numbered slots add them all up at the completion of the play and determine if the total is over 9 points and under 15 points (3 ball play) or over 15 points and under 24 points (6 ball play).
If the total is between 10 and 14 (3 ball play) or between 16 and 23 (6 ball play), you have a winner!
