Finger-Sized Throwing Games

Tactic Games Launches the New Mölkky Minipeli Skittle-Throwing Game

— June 25, 2024 — Life-Stages
Tactic Games is announcing the launch of Mölkky Minipeli, a miniature adaptation of the globally beloved skittle-throwing game, Mölkky. Originally unveiled at the prestigious London Toy Fair in January, this new compact version is now available to the public, promising to deliver the same enjoyment and strategic challenge as its full-sized counterpart in a more portable format.

In this version of the popular game, players set up the miniature numbered pins in a specific formation on a tabletop. The objective is to knock down the pins by skillfully throwing the skittle, aiming to score exactly 50 points. The strategic element is heightened by the rule that if a player surpasses 50 points, their score is reduced to 25, thus maintaining a competitive edge and excitement throughout the game.

Notably, the game comes packaged with a cardboard wrap to reduce waste.
