P\u00e9tanque is one of Laos\u2019 favorite pastimes.\u00a0 It is a form of boules (a collective name for games played with metal balls) where the object of the game is to throw the balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball or jack.\u00a0 The game is usually played on hard surfaces such as dirt or gravel but in general, can be played just about anywhere, with the exception of concrete, asphalt or tiles which can break as a result of the balls being tossed on them.\u00a0 The beauty of the game is that just about anybody, regardless of age, strength, height, or athletic ability can play.\u00a0 If you are visiting Laos, don\u2019t be surprised if locals ask you to join them for a game.\u00a0 It is great fun and an excellent way to interact with the Lao people.<\/p>\n

Q. How many people can play p\u00e9tanque?<\/p>\n

A. There are no limits in terms of how many participants can play in a game of p\u00e9tanque.\u00a0 Generally though, the game pits two teams against each other usually consisting of one, two, three or four players.\u00a0 If teams of threes and fours are playing, usually two metal balls (sometimes called boules) are required for each player.\u00a0 Otherwise, for teams of two or one, three or sometimes four boules are needed.<\/p>\n

Q. So, what are the rules of the game?<\/p>\n

A. The rules of p\u00e9tanque are simple.\u00a0 A coin toss (or any other method) decides which team goes first.\u00a0 The team that starts the game will have one of its players draw a circle measuring about 50 centimeters in diameter.\u00a0 This will be the spot in which every player will toss their boules from.\u00a0 The first player then throws the small wooden ball or jack from the circle he\/she just drew anywhere (preferably 6 meters or so away from the circle and about 50 centimeters away from any obstacles, like trees or lamp posts, etc).\u00a0 That team then starts with the throwing of the first boule, followed by the second team.\u00a0 Players are allowed to knock other balls away from the jack if they choose to do so.\u00a0 After the first round, the team that threw their boule closest to the jack is the leading team.\u00a0 The trailing team then steps up and tosses their balls until one of the balls is the closest to the jack (then the play switches to the other team) or until their boules run out.\u00a0 The order of play continues like this until all boules have been tossed.\u00a0\u00a0 If any of the boules hits and obstacle, that boule is considered dead and is removed from the playing field.\u00a0 The boules do not have to be tossed, they can be rolled or thrown at any height.<\/p>\n

Q. How are points calculated?\u00a0 How is a winner determined?<\/p>\n

A. After all boules have been thrown, players determine which ball or balls are the closest to the jack.\u00a0 The winner scores one point for each boule that is closer to the target than the opponent’s best boule.\u00a0 A measuring tape can settle disputes between two closely positioned balls.\u00a0\u00a0 Points are added and a new leg will begin, with the winning team starting things off with the circle drawing and first boule toss.\u00a0 The first team to 13 points wins the game (this can take as many legs as needed).<\/p>\n
