Boules-da Roules

For those of you who may be unenlightened, boules is a game played similar to lawn bowls in that there is a jack (technically known as the "small boule" or "scrunched up coaster" if you will) and several round balls.

The idea is to get the boules as close to the jack as possible (not by rolling, as some may unwittingly think) by throwing the boule in a bouley fashion (pictures on bouling technique may be posted later). It is also possible to score multiple points by having multiple boules closer to the jack than your opponent (technically termed "asshole", eg. "your turn asshole") resulting in a volatile game in which the proverbial tables may turn at any moment (that's one moment in total)

At the end of each...end. The points will be totalled and a new and exciting throw will be undertaken by the asshole who is deemed to "be next", and thus the glorious cycle repeats until there is one asshole who reaches a total of 13.

any further questions on the roules of boules should be addressed to a qualified bouler.
