Games of Skill

Sick of playing games where everything is left to chance?  Have you had enough of dice  and cards  and probability?  Do you just long to get your hands on something fun where you can finally be in control?  Well, it looks like you're simply either a control freak, or you're in the market for games of skill: pastimes that let you explore the limits of your own talents.  From croquet to darts, from bowling to billiards, these hobbies will allow you to improve (or show off) your coordination and can also help you win bets at the local pub.

Billiards The classic game of skill, billiards  and other cue sports,  such as pool, are a fantastic icebreaker, and the tables can make an elegant addition to your living room.  Now start hustling.	Bocce and Lawn Bowling Though it seems oh-so-very-Mediterranean, bocce  is extremely addictive, and a great activity for warm summer days.  You'll be one of those players with a tape measure  in no time!	Darts Whether you enjoy fives, cricket, or some other variation, it's obvious that you're going to need a dartboard  for which to hone your skills.  Let us help you pick out the perfect one.

Foosball Foosball is a game loved by many an office worker and many a pub enthusiast.  If you're looking to practice extra-curricularly, our guide can help you find your perfect football table.	Croquet There's nothing better than setting up the lawn for a friendly game of croquet --all the colours and allusions to Alice in Wonderland!   Just be sure to watch out for that nasty Queen of Hearts....	Bowling Bowling can be a perfect activity for you and your mates: there's the fun night out bit, crazy shoes, greasy food and watered-down beer.  Oh, right, and I almost forgot--the bowling  itself.	Badminton Whether you're looking to engage in friendly play, or a ruthless winner-take-all tourney, badminton is sure to get your heart pumping!
