Pétanque – also known as ‘Boules’ – is a unique and fun game that originated in France and is played by two teams.

This soft version of the game is perfect for indoor play and consists of several ‘ends’. An end consists of throwing out of the jack, followed by two players throwing their boules. After both teams have thrown all their boules, the team with the boule closest to the jack wins the end! The winning team scores one point for each of its boules that is closer than the opposing team’s closest boule. The first team to 13 points wins the game.
