Description

Large wooden bowling alley game. The game consists of a large, U-shaped board with spring-loaded dowels on the sides. The dowels can be pulled back, then released to shoot a red glass marble. At the center of the board are 10 drilled holes to hold blue glass marbles (6 remaining). There is a gutter behind the holes for the blue marbles that get moved by being hit by the red.
