I grew up playing it as a kid in grass. We'd go to different parks to mix up the terrain kind of like golf. It's a life time game!

Where I'm from the small ball is called a bouccini. I'm from Valdese, NC originally. It was founded by a group of Waldensians from the Alps.

I didn't know this game, but it seems to me similar to billiards and bowling, here in Mexico, a combination of both. As a child my father taught us to play something very similar to this and the truth was very fun

Are you allowed to hit the sides? My understanding that DQs the ball.

It's unfortunate that things like this are finding less and less interest in the younger generations. As i write this I'm watching 3 generations of my family enjoying a game my father was taught by his father a sicilian immigrant who cried when he reached ellis island.

I feel you. Sports are good for the mind, and good for the body. Tech has it's place, but we lack balance very much. We are not computers. Computers are tools, not life.

So Italy has bocce and France has pétanque which is played with steel “boules” as they’re called same rules of the game only differences is in pétanque you are not allowed to move your legs you must shoot in standing position

I believe they are all descended from a Roman game so it would make sense they share a lot of similarities.
