Matrak is a Turkish game invented by Matrakçı Nasuh in 16th century. It is played by wooden sticks which are covered with leather and look like bowling ten-pins. The tops of the sticks are rounded and slightly wider than the body. The game is a kind of battle animation and it is a lawn game. It was used by ottoman soldiers as exercise for melee combat.
In the series "Muhteşem Yüzyıl" (episode 2) it is shown as combat-game.
