Pocket Bowler
Ten pins, one steel ball
Ten pins and one steel ball.
Hook, spin and spare conversion with proper pin physics.
About Pocket Bowler
Proper pin physics means the spare conversion is a real skill rather than a coin flip. Hook and spin change which pin you strike first, and that first contact decides the rest of the rack.
