Pétanque is a “boules” sport in the same family as bocce, curling, shuffleboard, and horseshoes. The object of the game is to score points by getting your boule closer to the target than your opponent.

Unlike bocce or bowling, boules are not rolled on the ground but tossed in the air with a little arc and some backspin.

The game originated in the south of France but is played all over the world from Thailand to Madagascar, Senegal to Canada, and in the heart of Brooklyn.

The Traditional Mariole

Played just like French Petanque. The only difference is that it can be played on any surface, anywhere your imagination takes you!

La Mariole des Fadas

The only rule is that there are no rules or very few! You must have at least one foot in the game area defined beforehand. Put the jack using your hand, anywhere within a 360° scope. Then you can use obstacles, walls and other elements as supports to get closer to the jack. The first team to score 9 points wins. 

How to hold a boule?

The word pétanque comes from the Occitan phrase pè tancat which means “feet planted”. Whenever a player throws a boule, they must stand within a circle that is 50cm in diameter. Both feet must remain planted until the boule touches the ground.

How to point?

How to shoot?

The most exciting part of pétanque is the emphasis on shooting your opponent’s boules This might be necessary in order to remove an opponent’s point which is so close to the cochonnet it can’t be beaten. Shooting can also be a strategic play to prevent your opponent from scoring and rack up multiple points for your own team.
The perfect shot in pétanque is called a carreau, when a player shoots an opponent’s boule, knocking it out and taking its place.

Shooting is not easy, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t always make a perfect carreau. Even the best players in the world miss all the time…well, not all of them!

Some essentials for your game of indoor petanque?

●Organize the indoor petanque ground: Even if indoor petanque does not require being outside and having a real petanque ground, you still need a little space to be able to play soft petanque .

● Get a team: Indoor petanque is played in groups of two or three, but can also be practiced one against one. We are talking about: head to head, doublet or triplet.

● Provide a game of softballs for each team. Two or three balls per player are necessary.

● Trace or form a circle on the ground to determine where to shoot or point the soft petanque balls. A single foot in the area is enough to validate the throw.

 

Rules of the game of indoor petanque
