Petanque

Petanque is a French game similar to lawn bowling in which teams of one, two, three, or four players throw small hollow metal balls, or boules, from a circle on a court in an effort to make it stop as close as possible to a wooden jack several feet away. Each round ends when all the boules have been thrown by the players. Each player then scores one point for every boule that stops closer to the jack than an opponent's boules. The game ends after one of the teams scores 13 points. This section features various resources on petanque.
