Table Skittles Games Guide

'Devil among the tailors' is a tabletop version of skittles played using 9 small skittles arranged in a 3 x 3 square, usually within a shallow open-topped wooden box. A wooden ball is suspended above the table on a chain and the aim of the game is to knock down skittles by swinging the ball round in an arc (rather than aiming directly at the skittles). In the picturesque name, the 'devil' refers to the ball and the 'tailors' are the skittles.
