I’ve been asked to coordinate a “boule” (similar to bocce) tournament for a relatives wedding as a fun thing to do for those coming a few days early (destination wedding).

After doing a little research, I’ve found there are a lot of variations of this game so I’m curious if any of you play this and what your recommendations are for a simple version of this game. There will be people from Europe, US, and Canada at the wedding so I want to make sure it is easy to understand and explain to everyone.

    Thank you. This is perfect, much appreciated. I began to down a rabbit hole of rules for different versions of throwing (standing vs running start) vs rolling, etc. It seems the key is to not make it too strict and have fun. Do you find the number of people on a team to matter? Two or three maximum?

      You’re welcome :)

      Yes, was the same here regarding the rabbit hole. Then I just took a look at what is most commonly played around France by everyone. Simple, do not overcomplicate and have fun.

      I’d say as there are 6 balls per team, two or three people on a team is great.
