Wizard Skittles was a wizarding sport or mini-game same as the Exploding Snap, Gobstones, and the Wizard's Chess.
Overview[]
The goal of the game was to knock down as many pins as possible with your skittles, which looked like small circular discs. The game originated from an old European lawn game that played similarly. Pins were set up at one end and each player rolled their skittles across the ground with the intent to knock down as many skittles as possible. Bowling was created off of this game.[1]
