Rules of Play
Objective: The goal is to hit your ball through a series of hoops (or "wickets") in a specific order and finish by hitting the central peg before your opponents do.
Setup: Place the hoops in a specific pattern on a grassy area, with the peg positioned at the end.
Taking Turns: Players take turns hitting their ball with a mallet, trying to move it through the hoops in the correct order.
Scoring: Each time a player successfully hits their ball through a hoop, they earn an additional stroke, allowing them another turn.
Bonus Shots: Players earn two bonus shots if they hit an opponent’s ball, which they can use to move closer to a hoop or gain a strategic advantage.
Winning: The first player to pass their ball through all the hoops in order and hit the final peg wins the game.
