Manufacturer's Description:
Which do you have? Do you have the skill? Do you have the will? Roll balls to score 1, 2, or 3 points but watch out! Roll too hard and you'll give a free shot to your opponent - too soft and you might score on yourself! With fun, fast-paced gameplay, Brass Ball & Nerves of Steel is an addictive diversion that everyone will want to play again and again.

This game combines bowling and tic-tac-toe. One side has 3 brass balls, the other 3 steel balls, and you try to roll your balls into the holes on your opponent's side. There is a nice combination of risk assessment and dexterity: the farther up the opponent's side you get your ball to go, the more points -- the rows of holes score 1, 2 or 3 points. If you miss and it rolls back into a hole on your side, it counts for your opponent's score. And if you roll off the far side, your opponent keeps the ball to roll and score on his own.
