This petanque set from Tactic contains 6 metal balls, the small wooden ball to throw at ('le but'), and a measuring rope to check who is closest to the target.
The set comes in a sturdy nylon bag.
Petanque is played with 2 balls per player. Officially it is played 1 to 1 (tête-à-tête), or in a team of 2 (doublette) or 3 players (triplette).
You start by throwing 'le but' and throw the first ball. Whoever is closest to the small ball wins 1 point. Whoever wins, may start in the next round.
The team that collects 13 points first wins.
Suitable for children from 6 years of age, under supervision, up to 105 years of age (and more if possible).
Tested, with some pastis, by the Fairplace petanque team and, after endless discussions, as it should be, approved.
