(291 diggs) Man Invents "Knokkers," Live-Sized Bowling-Meets-Billiards Game
Bocce ball has rather inexplicably become all the rage in (mostly hipster) bars that have enough room for a really huge sand pit. How long will it be before Knokkers knocks Bocce off its mantle? The game is essentially a live-sized version of 8-ball pool, where instead of hitting a cue ball with a long wooden cue, you roll 6-pound bowling balls at each other, sending them caroming off each other and into watch-your-feet-sized pockets.
