Commodore Bowling & Billiards

What games have you played today?  Bring someone new to experience something old to feel the excitement it can bring to people.
 
That's what I did.  Took a group of university students from Africa to play five pin bowling for the first time at Commodore Lanes It was like a pack of energetic, adrenaline flying kids in adult bodies.  There were no "rules".  How would they know any sense of order, they just saw a new toy and went at it.  It was a new experience to see them chucking these small bowling balls down the lanes.  Hitting gutterballs and seeing the jumps and screams for hitting a pin.  They created their own new games and order.  If you wanna play, you just grab a ball and play on any lane that you want.  Others just join in and leave as they please.  There is order in chaos after all.
