This is the authentic Skittle Pool, the tabletop billiards game where players use a pendulum-powered ball to sink shots. Made to the same specifications as the original 1970 game, the table features strikers that swing from frames on its front and back. Skittle pool follows the same rules as standard pool; to make a shot, players place the cue ball on a pivoting arm and aim it at a target ball. The striker is then pulled back and released; when it hits the stationary ball, its energy is transferred to the cue ball which, if your aim is true, knocks the pool ball into one of six pockets. With ten 1 1/2" billiard balls, cue ball, two strikers, two stationary balls and rack. Ages 5 and up. 4" H x 24 1/8" W x 24 1/8" D. (8 3/4 lbs.)
