The aim of this 8 Boule Set game, is to throw , the heavy metal balls out of the back of your hand, and position them as close to the small Jack or Butt as you can.

You can see this laid back game, especially in France, and Italy, where Boules or Bocce can often be seen played by locals in villages and towns. This particular polished alloy Boules Set is presented in a beautiful zipped canvas carry case and is packed carefully to protect the Boules whilst they are in transit. This fantastic game makes a great beach or garden game and the fine quality boules used in this set, are designed to withstand even the most aggressive and competitive play.

The game of Petanque or Boule is played between two teams of 1, 2 or 3 players. In singles or doubles each player uses 3 boules. In triples 2 boules only per player. However, for leisure play, 2 boules per player are satisfactory in any game. The game begins by tossing a coin to decide who should begin the game and also have the right to place the small ball, the “Butt” or “Jack”. The first player then traces on the ground a circle large enough to stand in (.35m - .50m diameter) and throws the “Butt” forward, a distance between 6 and 10 metres. If he throws it outside these distances his team has the right to try twice again, otherwise the opposing team attempts to do the same. Make sure you choose your Boules Set carefully.
