Hello;
This game comes from the South of France. It's played with iron balls that you hold in your hand. You can play with 2 or three balls and a little one of the size of a walnut made of plastic or wood.
The game consists in First, throwing the little one between a distance of 6 to 10 meters, and then the players throw the balls in order to get as close as possible from the little ball. Each player plays until they get the closest, and then the othe players do the same.
The winner is the player or team who scores 13.
That's it; tell me if you understand.
Have a good day !
Magali
