metega

Metega is a game played with a set of wooden pins and a ball, originating from the Netherlands. It is similar in concept to bowling or skittles but features a unique pin arrangement and playing surface. The game is typically played on a long, narrow wooden table, often with a slightly raised section at one end.

The objective of Metega is to score points by knocking down a specific arrangement of pins using a ball. The pins are usually arranged in a diamond shape, and the ball is rolled or thrown down the table to strike them. Different scoring combinations are possible depending on which pins are knocked down and how.

Historically, Metega was a popular tavern game in some parts of the Netherlands. It required a combination of skill and accuracy to master the trajectory of the ball and the force needed to topple the pins. While not as widely played today as in the past, it retains a cultural significance and can still be found in some traditional establishments. The game's simple yet engaging mechanics have contributed to its enduring appeal over generations. Variations in rules and scoring may exist depending on the specific region or club where Metega is played.
