Anyone else ever played this game before? I played it in Finland this summer (where its huge), and liked it so much I came home and made one of my own. I plan on taking it out to tailgating if anyone is interested in playing. Heck if people like it I might start making them to sell. Its pretty simple game, but really fun.

Materials:
12 pins (numbered from 1 to 12), throwing Mölkky
Setup:
The pins are placed in a formation. For the first game, the throwing order is drawn. In following games, the throwing order is formed according to the previous game results from lowest to highest score. A throwing line is drawn about 3-4 metres away from the pin formation. Players take turns in scorekeeping (see “Ending the game”).
How to play?
Beginning the game:
First player throws at the grouping and tries to knock over pins. Mölkky is always thrown underhand.
Fallen pin:
A pin is not considered fallen if it is leaning on another pin or on the Mölkky throwing skittle. After a throw, fallen pins are put upright at the place where they fell.
Scoring:
If one pin falls, the score = the number on the pin. When more than one fall, the score = the number of fallen pins.
Ending the game:
If a player misses (has no score) three times in a row, he/she is out of game and acts as the scorekeeper. The game ends when the first player reaches exactly 50 points. If one scores over 50, that players score is lowered to 25.
