Strike, Spare, or Split (2022)

How many strikes can you throw in ten frames? Can you pick up a spare? Avoid a split? Find out in this three-card nanogame of dexterity and planning that simulates a full game of bowling in under 20 minutes. Test your eyes, curse your hands, and leave the lane open for better options as you bowl your way to a high score in Strike, Spare, or Split! In this "place-and-write" game, one player bowls ten frames, creating a path down the lane by placing one card on top of another. This path will cross a variety of icons, which can sometimes help the player, giving them upgrades and abilities, but may also cause trouble, forcing them into the gutter! While the icons are marked off with a pencil, the game continues to evolve until the 10th frame is complete! —description from the designer
