    Hi Alyce,

    Truly speaking, this is the only game that I do not understand. My question is: Is this game only for aged people or for young as well? – I am asking this because I only see aged people playing it all the time I am driving around the playing field in my town.

    Thank you.

      Hi Aubin, Bowling is fun for almost any age, and the basic premise is simple: you’ll get two chances to roll a bowling ball down the lane to knock down ten arranged pins. The pins are reset either after you knock them all down or take your two chances. Then other players get a turn to try for themselves. This repeats ten times, and the person with the highest score wins. Modern bowling alleys have computer systems to keep track of the score for you. 

      Beginners can request lane “bumpers” until they get the hang of the technique, which helps to make sure everyone has fun when bowling.

      I hope this helps to clarify the game of bowling and encourages you to try it out someday. It’s a fun way to spend time with friends.
