The game consists of 8 metal balls, where 2 balls have the same markings on, and one smaller ball known as the jack! Each player or team will play with the two metal balls that have the same markings on.

How to play boules.

To start the game, the jack is thrown by a random player anywhere within the playing field. Each player will then throw one metal ball to place it as close to the jack as possible. Once all the players have had one turn, the players will through their second ball. If you hit another player’s ball, the final position of the balls will be taken. The ball will not be replaced.

The winner, or winning team, starts the next round by throwing the jack and the first metal ball.

Scoring

The player or team whose ball is the closest to the jack at the end of the round wins a point! First player or team to get 5 points, wins the game.
