A centuries-old Finnish favourite, now made for New Zealand backyards. Skittles has stood the test of time for a reason — it is simple, social, and instantly satisfying. The kind of game that draws a crowd and invites everyone to have a go.
Our Backyard Skittles set gives this vintage classic a Kiwi refresh. Crafted from beautiful pine with a smooth, made-to-throw finish, it is perfect for parks, parties, slow backyard afternoons, and events where you need a game that anyone can pick up in thirty seconds. Suitable for all ages and abilities — the kind of set that gets pulled out at every gathering and never stays in the bag for long.
The rules? Toss the wooden pin at the numbered skittles to score points. Hit one and earn its number. Knock over several and score how many you toppled. First to reach exactly 50 points wins. Simply aim, throw, and let the good times roll.
