About this game

Wonder Bowling turns regular bowling logic inside out: your job isn't smashing every pin down, it's whacking the lane with just enough control that a specific number of pins stays standing. Too soft and nothing moves, too hard and you have wiped the board clean, either way you have failed your secret target. Everyone hits with a shared ball stick, so the tension builds as pins get shakier and shakier with each turn. It's over in fifteen minutes, needs zero reading and barely any explanation, and turns "just a bit more force" into the tensest decision of the evening.
