What is "five-pin bowling"?

Five-pin bowling is a variation of bowling played with five smaller pins arranged in a V-shape at the end of the lane. Players roll a smaller ball, similar to a ten-pin ball but lighter and without finger holes, to knock down the pins. Each player has three rolls per frame. The scoring system is different from ten-pin bowling, with each pin worth a specific point value, and the goal is to knock down as many pins as possible in the fewest rolls. Five-pin bowling is most commonly played in Canada and is often enjoyed in a more relaxed, recreational setting.
