How to play:
The sporting version of boules, as a discipline, is called Pétanque and is played by two teams:
• 3 players against 3 players, called Triplette
• 2 players against 2 players, called Dublette
• 1 player against 1 player, called Tête-à-tête

The team that starts the game is chosen by flipping a coin. One player from the first team chooses the throwing spot and draws a circle on the ground with a diameter of no less than 35 cm and no more than 50 cm.
The first player, while standing with both feet inside the drawn circle, throws the jack to a distance of approximately 6–10 m, keeping a 1 m distance from obstacles (walls, trees, bushes).
The player starting the game throws their ball as close to the jack as possible. Both of the thrower's feet must be inside the circle and in contact with the ground until the ball touches the ground.
A player from the opposing team stands in the circle and tries to place their ball closer to the jack than their opponent or to knock the opponent's ball away. The ball closest to the jack is in the lead.
Play continues with the team whose ball is furthest from the jack after the first throw. This continues until they place their ball closer to the jack or decide to forfeit their turn.
When the losing team runs out of balls or forfeits their turn, the opposing team tries to place their remaining balls closer to the jack or forfeits their turn.
When both teams have no more balls, the point calculation begins. The winning team receives as many points as they have balls closer to the jack than the opposing team.
A player from the winning team throws the "jack." The team that reaches 13 points first wins.
All deviations from these rules are permitted to enhance the fun.
