CARPET BOWLS, also known as indoor bowls, is a popular game that can be ENJOYED BY BOTH ADULTS AND KIDS. It is a variation of lawn bowls or outdoor bowling. In carpet bowls, players use small balls called bowls to aim and roll towards a target, trying to get as close as possible to the designated marker.
The game of carpet bowls is typically played with a set of bowls specifically designed for indoor use. These bowls are SMALLER AND LIGHTER compared to the ones used in outdoor bowling.
It is said that Admiral Sir Francis Drake, on hearing of the approach of the Spanish Armada, refused to set sail with the British Fleet until he had finished his game of Bowls on Plymouth Hoe.
In this carpet bowls set each bowl is 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. The set includes 8 bowling balls that come in blue and red colours for easy identification during the game, a marker ball and instructions on how to play the game.
The objective in both carpet and lawn bowls is to roll balls towards a target, aiming for accuracy and precision. The basic principles and ENJOYMENT of both GAMES are similar, making carpet bowls a great alternative for those who prefer to play indoors or have limited outdoor space.
