BOBS

OBJECT: First to score 50 (or 100) points

COMPONENTS:

cue and 5 brown and 1 black wooden balls 2 arms row of arches

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Push in the two arms at each end and arrange the set at the end of a cloth covered table. 2. Place the odd coloured ball about 6” in front of the centre hole of the set and centrally between the two projecting arms. 3. The remaining balls are played from a fixed point or line at the other end of the table. 4. Each player plays the remaining balls. The odd ball must be hit by one of the remaining balls before any score is counted in any round. 5. If the odd ball is not hit by the first ball played, then that ball is “dead” and must be removed from the table before play goes on. This is repeated until the odd ball is hit. 6. If any ball is played into one of the apertures before the odd ball has been hit, the number shown over the aperture is deducted from the score of the player and the ball is removed from the table. Once the odd ball has been hit the remaining balls may be played into any aperture. 7. As each player completes a round, the numbers scored are added to the player’s total, then the next player carries on. 8. Points are scored by playing the balls into the apertures and adding the scores shown. 9. Should the odd ball be played into any pocket, double the number shown.
