What better way to relax after a nice plate of rare, expensive food than a game of bowls. We don't mean bowling either, that game has no finesse, no skill. We mean bowls!
In this game, you play against a variety of opponents. You each get to roll one of your bowls (yours are red, your opponent's are blue) down the green to try and get it closest to the jack (the white ball). You may knock your opponent's bowls out of play, and he may do the same to you, but if the jack goes out of play your opponent gets 2 points.
At the end of each round, points are awarded depending on the number of bowls in play that you have nearest to the jack. If there are two blue balls closest, that means you score two points. The first to 7 wins the match, and moves on to play a harder opponent! Lastly, watch out, in later levels there may be hazards on the green that will hinder your play.

Very special thanks goes out to GIDEON23 for these tips.
Tip #1: After you choose the quality level and you click to play... the the game window will come up. When you are on the page where it says read instructions/start game, type the word shepherd. There is no place to type it in, just type it on your keyboard. You'll know it works when you hear applause and the game starts without clicking start game. This will DOUBLE your score!!
Tip #2: Use a ruler to line up your shots.
Tip #3: Use the jagged edges on the bottom boundary to gauge your shot power.
Tip #4: If you're satisfied that your shot is close enough, use your remaining shots to block your opponents moves against you. Use low power when trying to block. I generally don't go much past the cybunny's ears, unless I'm trying to knock the oppents bowl off the screen.
