ABSTRACT:
A game is disclosed in which each of a group of players is provided with a color-coded scorecard. The format of each color-coded scorecard is similar to the format of a scoresheet for scoring a game of bowling. A caller is provided with a bin filled with ten tokens of each color. Each token of the same color is numbered with one of the numerals "1" to "10". The caller randomly selects tokens from the bin and calls the color and number of each token. If the color called corresponds to the color of his color-coded scorecard, the player writes the number called as the first or second ball in a frame of one game on his scorecard. Play ends when one player completes all frames of a game, whereupon all other players complete unscored and partially scored frames by marking gutter balls. Thereafter, each player totals his score for the game in accordance with the rules of bowling. The player with the highest score wins the game. The caller is also preferably provided with a tot board and pegs. The caller inserts a peg into a hole in the tot board for recording the color and number of each token called as the game is played so that players' scorecards can be verified. Other features are also disclosed.
