Boules / Pétanque / Bocce ball - a very popular social game from France that requires skill. It is based on throwing metal balls from a marked circle. Interest in boules is constantly growing in Poland as well, especially in parks and on unpaved grounds. Pétanque can be played on any flat surface that allows for free movement (grass, asphalt, parquet).

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

The team that starts the game is chosen by a coin toss. One of the players from the first team chooses the throwing spot and draws a circle on the ground with a diameter no smaller than 35 cm and no larger 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, maintaining 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 moment the ball touches the ground.
The opposing team's player stands in the circle and tries to place their ball closer to the jack than the opponent or to knock the opponent's ball away. The ball closest to the jack is in the lead.
The game 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 forfeit their turn.
Once the losing team runs out of balls or forfeits their turn, the opposing team attempts to place their remaining balls closer to the jack or forfeits their turn.
When both teams have no more balls, scoring 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 first team to reach 13 points wins.
Any deviations from these rules are allowed to enhance the fun.
