The group usually plays 2 games with a break for drinks and a chat.

Firstly we play against each other, 3 or 4 throws per person depending on the numbers attending with the highest scorer winning. Following the drinks break we play "Killer" where one receives a number of lives, usually 4. At your turn you must knock at least one skittle down or loose a life. This can prove difficult if only one skittle remains standing. When the final skittle(s) all are knocked down they are replaced for the next person. The game continues until there is only one player left with a life.
