Puzzle: 100XXL Bowling by the Brook

Bowling by the Brook is a 100XXL puzzle by Steve Crisp. It measures 49 cms x 34 cms when complete which are the same dimensions as a regular 500 piece puzzle. It is made especially for those who prefer to work with pieces that are very large.

Lawn bowling or Bowls, as opposed to 10 pin bowling, takes place outside and is therefor at the mercy of the elements. The game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient Greece and Rome. The prototype Italian Boccia was and still is played by throwing (rather than rolling) a small ball at a distant target called a jack in a specially designed sand pit or just in some agreed area suitable for the purpose.


This delightfully illustrated puzzle by Steve Crisp therefore belies the less than genteel history of a game which might have lead to all manner of skullduggery and wanton behaviour, including, no doubt antics beyond mere harsh language.
