the game that took
Australia by storm
Since we brought Finska to our pristine Aussie shores back in 2009, the game has grown and spread like wildfire, to the point where it is now well on its way to becoming a household name. Anyone can play,
the game for anyone, anytime, anywhere
Pick your surface, because Finska can be played anywhere. Grass, gravel, sand, dirt, snow, mud, asphalt, concrete - it all works (though we do recommend sticking to the softer surfaces to better preserve your pins!). A crate of Finska and two or more players - that's all it takes to enjoy this game to its max. That's why we see Finska in countless road trip and adventure pics, it's an excellent travel companion for soaking in the moment and making new friends.
a race to 50 points
The joy of Finska lies within its simplicity, the premise is a race to exactly 50 points, and can be summarised in three steps; Chuck wood, knock em down, put em back up. The scoring is where Finska is most unique.
Each throw is scored in one of two ways: If you knock down one pin, you score the number on that pin. If you knock down two or or more pins, it's one point for each pin knocked down. There are just a couple more important tricks for new players, so check out how to play Finska...
