That looks really fun!  So you just pick up the pins and place them where they fell for the next round? That makes it doable for slinging I think, otherwise it would be really hard to pick off single pins.

We might have to get rid of the "Miss three throws and your out" rule though...

Lots of games would be fun with a sling adaptation.

I always thought a game of tic tac toe would be fun because the accuracy addition would make it interesting.

Exactly. It can get quite tactical. Precision is really the name of the game to pick off higher numbers but also to sometimes just go for number of pins so as not to go over 50. It's really fun. It'll be difficult with a sling but should be possible.

Here are the dimensions:

well 55mm diameter is a totally non-standard size for wood rods/dowels.
I do have some 50mm polyurethane pipe.

I've got a couple ideas for how to do the numbers.
But might have to settle for 30mm wood with some printed feet to stop them falling over too easily.

I've got a day for wandering around shops tomorrow - I'll have to see what the diy stores have in stock.

I'd like solid wood - but if it has to be custom made - the price rockets.
Did I Really need another project ?
Damn you kick and your enticing finnish pastimes ! 

well it's a weight and durability aspect as well as aesthetic.

I can get wooden handrails for staircases. 54mm diameter and 2.4m long.
pine is £30 up to oak at £50.
Ideally I'd like to use ash as it's the toughest wood around and somewhere inbetween oak and pine in weight.
An ash molkky set would becme a family heirloom, well till you lost bits of it lol.

That's from b&q - I've got a couple of local timber merchants to call as well.
Hopefully they'll be cheaper - you would usually expect b&q to be the most expensive by a fairly large margin.

So for a complete set you need around 2 metres (no clue how long the throwing bail is yet). But figure it's probably around 20cm long as the pins are 15. And that would give you exactly two metres of wood for a complete set.

For  sling version I'd be inclined to make a wooden cube and then file or sand the corners so that it resembles a round cornered dice.

You want something that won't roll too well, but also will fit a sling fairly well too.
An edge smoothed cube would seem to fit the bill. make it 55mm on a side and it's just a little smaller than a tennis ball - so would fit most sling pouches.

Molkky set arrived.
Looks like it's a French knock off

Also found an app so you don't even need to bother with pen and paper lol

We'll have a post BBq game tonight. Should be fun.

The box it came in smells fantastic, like fresh sawn pine log's.

Cheers Kick.

Looking around, looks like it's a fairly newish game.
Somehow I thought this was an old traditional Finnish game. But apparently not.
Definitely going to be fun
