tenpins
Bowler's standing targets
Tenpins is a bowling game in which players roll a ball down a lane to knock down ten pins arranged in a triangle.
The term distinguishes this standard form from variants like ninepins or duckpins.
In American usage, tenpins is simply bowling: We went to play tenpins on Saturday night.
