response: Well, I can't confirm how the game is won, but I do know that a strike happens when you  knock down every pin on the first roll
original_response: well A strike is when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll
history: My friends really like to bowl, but I've never joined them because I don't know how to play. Do you like to bowl? Well, I can tell you then that the sport or leisure activity of bowling involves throwing a ball towards a target. What is the object of the game? i think the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane I guess whoever knocks down the most pins wins? I've heard them talking about spares and strikes. What are they?
knowledge: A strike is when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll, whereas a spare is when all the pins are knocked over on the second shot.
