A lawn game classic, weighted to play properly.
Eight solid boules in a carry case — the unhurried garden game that works on grass, gravel or the beach, for ages six to ninety. The kind of game that always ends with someone saying 'best of three?'
Eight weighted boules
roll true, not light and skittish
Jack included; play on grass, gravel, sand or path
Carry case keeps the set together and ready to go
The garden game nobody has to be talked into
Boules is the rare game with no losers and no rush — you roll, you measure, you argue gently about whose is closest, and then you do it again. It suits a glass of something on a summer evening as well as it suits the kids. The boules are properly weighted to roll true, and they live in their own carry case so they're always ready.
