The game of Jeudeboules is super simple, but a bit different than most people think. There is no minimum or maximum number of people per lane, but we recommend a maximum of 6 people per lane.

 

Preparation:

Choose your game:

• 1 vs 1 (each player gets 3 balls)

• 2 vs 2 (each player gets 3 balls)

• 3 vs 3 (each player gets 2 balls)

 

Objective of the game: Throw the boule as close to the jack as possible. Throwing is done from the throwing circle. Both feet of the player must be inside the circle.

 

• The starting player throws the jack.

• The first player tries to throw the boule as close to the jack as possible.

• Now it's the opponent's turn. They try to throw a boule closer to the jack. This can be done by throwing a boule closer or by knocking away an opponent's boule.

  • If successful, the other team takes their turn.

  • If not, the same team keeps throwing until they succeed. If all their balls are thrown, it's the opponent's turn.

• When all boules are played, the winning team gets as many points as the number of balls closer to the jack than the best boule of the opposing team.

• The team that won the previous round starts the new round.

• The throwing circle is placed again.

• The first team to reach 13 points wins.

• If the jack goes out of the lane during the game, the round is replayed.
