Overview
Finn Billiards plays somewhat like Mölkky on a wooden surface. The playing area is a large wooden board that has a raised exterior frame on three sides. Twelve wooden pins numbered 1-12 are placed in a cluster in the starting area. On a turn, a player shoots a wooden disc from the slingshot-style launcher on the open end of the board to attempt to knock down one or more pins. If a player knocks over only a single pin, the player scores points equal to the number on the pin; if the player knocks down two or more pins, the player scores points equal to the number of pins knocked down. After scoring, the player stands the pins up where they fell. Alternatively, if the player knocked over a single pin, instead of scoring points they can place this pin in one of the two defense zones near the back of the playing area. If a player's score equals exactly 70 points, they win. If a player would score points and go over 70, then they instead lose points equal to the sum of the numbers on the pins, regardless of how many pins they dropped. The game continues until one player reaches exactly 70 points and wins.
