HOW TO PLAY
Start here.
YOU’LL NEEDTwo balls per side plus one small target—or rolled socks outdoors on a blanket
- 1Toss the small target into the playing area and choose two ball colors or otherwise identify each side’s balls.
- 2Alternate rolling larger balls, trying to finish closest to the target or knock opposing balls away.
- 3After every ball is rolled, score one point for each ball belonging to the closest side that lies nearer than the other side’s best ball; then begin a new end.
- 4Solo: roll four balls and score one point for each that finishes within one large step of the target, then move the target and try to beat that score.
