The Game of Boules is played by first tossing a coin to pick the player to go first. This player then stands at one end of the pitch (or lawn area that you will be using to play the game) this is the spot from which all players will subsequently bowl from. The Jack is then thrown down the pitch, in theory it should land about two thirds up the pitch, but in the back garden or the beach it really is not that important. (TIP) If smaller players are involved it can make the game much more fun for them if the Jack is made to be a make the Jack a little closer by perhaps allowing them to stand further forwards. The first player then throws one Boule towards the Jack or Cochonnet, aiming to get as close as possible. The next player steps up and attempts to do the same, while also trying to remove the other player's Boule by knocking it away from the Jack or Cochonnet. Once all the players have thrown all their Boules the winner is decided by being the player with his or his or her Boule closest to the Jack. This can be a hot topic of debate and to help with this tough decision we have included a simple measure in with our Boules set.
