Method of playing a bowling game

A method of playing a bowling game in which players are allowed at least one ball to knock down all pins in a plurality of frames defined by selecting a plurality of differing pin setups of less than ten pins in a random sequence. The number of pins less then ten that were not set for a respective frame is recorded for each player for each frame. The number of pins knocked down by each player in each frame is counted. The number of pins not set in a given frame is added to the frame score of the previous frame if all the pins were knocked down in the previous frame, but only the number of pins knocked down in the previous frame if all the pins were not knocked down in the previous frame. This frame score is recorded for each player, and each player's frame scores are added to determine the player's total score for the game. The players' game scores are compared to determine the winner of the game.
