Ninh explains, the Rules of Candlepin Bowling.
The object of the game is to knock down more pins than your opponent.
Candlepin Bowling, is a variation of ten pin bowling, that is predominantly played in the North East of the United States, and the maritime provinces of Canada.
It's played very similar to ten pin bowling and is played on a surface known as a lane.
The lanes are 60ft long and are up to 42 inches wide, but lane can vary depending on location.
If you bowl the ball wide of the lane, they land in the gutters and will be carried past the pins.
The pins themselves are taller, but significantly thinner than ten pin bowling pins.
They're spaced in the identical spots and each pin is designated a number.
A bowler uses a small, light ball, and has up to a 16 ft approach to the foul line, which is the start of the lane.
A game is divided into 10 frames or 10 boxes.
