description Devil among the tailors Overview
Devil among the tailors is an English table-skittles game, also known as bar skittles or pub skittles. It is played with nine small pins arranged in a 3 x 3 square inside a shallow wooden tray. A wooden ball attached to a swiveling post is swung in an arc around the post to knock down the pins, so the game uses a pendulum-like motion rather than a conventional bowling lane. It is associated with traditional pub and social gaming in England.
