Irish Skittles (County Cavan, Ireland)
« Thread Started on Apr 27, 2009, 4:08pm »

The Irish have their own version of skittles - a unique traditional 5 pin game. The pins are stood on a circle with one in the middle and are aimed at with 4 batons. To score, you must not only knock the pin over but must knock it out of the circle.

There's not a lot about this game on the web, hence the reason for not creating it's only category (currently). It seems to be more closely related to Kubb. Here's what I do know.

This is one of the funnest games I've ever played. The best thing about it is you can play it on concrete. Tailgate Games LLC is the only one I'm aware of that sells this game in the US.
