We played this a lot with our kids while they grew up. Quite fun. HOWEVER, we had to put our little Corgi dog into the house or on a leash because he would run out and grab the Jack. LOL (He loved Bocce Ball) ALSO it is best to double check your yard to make sure your dog has not left you a 'gift' before playing the game....haha

You don't have to alternate the shots. You have to see who gets the boccia closer to the boccino after the second shot. If the second player is more distant, he/she must continue playing. When they get their closest boccia to the boccino it will be the first player's turn again.

That’s interesting. I grew up in a town founded by Italian Protestants (Waldensians). I never heard the little ball called a palino. It has always been known as the bouccini to me. If I recall, they came from the alpine region of Italy. I wonder if there are other regional variations in the names.

Ehhh gonna pretend I didn't hear the underhand throws only rule. That seems way less fun and strategic. Also we play a rule where once the jack is thrown there is no going to inspect it or look again. Gotta keep your eyes on where you think it went. Obviously your yard is impeccable so this isn't an issue! :)

Can someone explain why there are four different colored balls and not just two? Are there four teams?

@JesseLogan134 Жыл бұрын

We play this so differently LOL. Basically it’s a free for all. The jack is thrown and you throw your coloured balls to get your balls close to the jack. However, the ball that gets furthest away is ELIMINATED. The game keeps on going until there is a winner. Once someone loses all their balls they’re eliminated. For for example, let’s pretend we have 4 players A, B, C, and D. Each players starts with 2 balls (sometimes we do everyone starts with 4 balls) but for this sake let’s say everyone started with 2 balls Let’s say that one of D’s balls was the furthest away, that ball would be eliminated. That would mean the next around; A, B, and C still have 2 balls as for D only has one. The game keeps on going until one person/ball reminds obv (as I said before) The player who gets their ball closer to the jack each round gets to throw the Jack ball the next round! This is the best way to play it imo. There is a lot at steak!

Interresting in my family we usualy call it pentanque, though from a quick search it seems that it is a series of games, but the only difference i could find was the material that the balls are made out of. Does anyone know the difference between Bocce ball, Petanque, Boules and Boccia, or is it just different names for the same game?

@RickJaeger 2 жыл бұрын

One of the rule differences (observed in professional play, idk about casual as I've not been to France nor spoken about the game to any Frenchmen) is that in Petanque, they play on loose gravel (which means it's more like the lawn game in that they favor lobs rather than rolls) and they have to stay inside a shooting area with both feet planted on the ground, delineated by some kind of circle or hoop. Besides that, idrk.

@nichlasbundgaard5583 2 жыл бұрын

@@RickJaeger I see, thanks! I haven't played in years but i think if there isn't a designated court for the game (i remember there being quite a few around back then) we just drew a line, used some rope or the case to mark where we needed to stand when shooting.
