Everyone gets to play. Petanque is a strategy and skill game similar to Molkki. The game goes by the name Boules in France. There is equiment (boules) you can use and we will teach new folks the game.

Overview of game... In pétanque the objective is to score points by having boules closer to the target than the opponent after all boules have been thrown. This is achieved by throwing or rolling boules closer to the small target ball, officially called a jack but known colloquially as a cochonnet, or by hitting the opponents' boules away from the target, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. The team closest to the target ball gets a point for each ball (boule) they have closer than the opposing team.
