Recreational activities are one too many in this age and day. Sometimes, we even get a feeling that our lives are moving so fast because of the hundreds of ways we could spend entertaining ourselves, when compared to our parents' times or the decades when our grandparents lived. The proof is all around. Turn up the television and there are three hundred plus channels with programming that is designed to cater to each and every possible category.
There are dozens of party places, game rooms, food options, multiplexes and what not. To top all the entertainment has become mobile and keeps pushing itself that way. Our smart phones are so powerful that many of us are ditching our home entertainment systems. The phone is becoming the centre of our world of entertainment.
One thing that is obvious though is that most of the entertainment seems to be about bringing people of the same type together. Take gaming for instance. Those who like to play online, like a game or racing or adventure are probably folks who are of the same age and have similar tastes. If you are faced with a challenge, where you are not getting to spend enough time with your spouse, or child or any friend or family member who are simply not available because of this difference in tastes and age, we have a possible solution.
That solution is bowling.
Bowling
There are simple facts about bowling that help us in backing up our claim about it being a fun game for anybody and everybody.
Availability is key to any sort of fun. In some ways, we can theorize that the reason movies are so popular because of their general availability. Blockbuster movies have incredibly wide distribution network, playing in thousands of movie theatres all over the world. In most cases, ticket prices are cheap enough to allow pretty much everybody to enjoy the show.
Similarly is the case with bowling. A simple search on your favourite map service will help you locate at least a few if not dozens of bowling centres around you. Thanks to their wide availability, you will find that the prices are also reasonable. The last thing any of us want is for us to have fun but feel bad about it later because it burnt a huge hole in our pocket. We are sure that such a hole burning experience won't be the case with bowling.
Suitable For All Ages
While we cannot recommend bowling for really small kids, given that they cannot lift the bowling ball, everybody else is invited. Teenagers can play it. College going folks can have a good game. Older couples and even grandmas and grandpas can enjoy a game of bowling.
The thing about bowling is that there is no such thing as a time limit. You hit the bowling joint, and you have the bowling lane and you throw the ball. Those are the rules of the most basic game. You can take your time to throw the ball. You can decide to take as many breaks as you want. You can abandon the game whenever you want. The available options are simply too many.
Play Alone Or With Friends
Games are fun when played with others. That is true and that will remain the unofficial tag line of any game in existence. Then again, there are times when you want to be alone. May be you are working on some work problem, or a math problem but you don't want to do it alone. You could head over to the coffee shop but want something a little more energetic activity.
Head to the nearest bowling centre, grab bowling shoes, rent a lane and a bowling ball and you are all set. You can just play on your own with no distractions or disturbances or such. Later if you change your mind, just ring up or chat on your phone and invite a friend over to join you. So a game that was played alone suddenly became multiplayer.
Now, how many games can offer such flexibility? You would have a hard time coming up with answers for that question. Adding a point to this statement is how easy it is to get yourself up and running with this game. You don't need to carry any equipment, you don't need to follow any rulebooks and there is literally no pressure on you while playing the game. In other words, this game is awesome.
