Fun Factor
Croquet is a familiar and fun outdoor game for everyone. A stylish, low-impact sport to be played with friends,
taking breaks only for a sip of champagne and a nibble of hors d'oevers. With this game there are no wallflowers,
everyone is quickly out hitting a blue, red, black or yellow ball clockwise through the a series of six wickets.
It is known as a game of spirit, style and strategy.
Game Setup and Rules
The game is played by two sides. One side has the black and blue balls and the other side has the red and yellow balls.
The object of the game is to advance the balls around the lawn by hitting them with a mallet, scoring a point for each hoop
made in the correct order and direction. The winning side is the first to score the 6 hoop points and then finish by scoring
one peg point for each of its balls. The six hoops are set up on a field of approx. 18 x 14 meters. The presented diagram shows
the official positioning, order and direction of scoring hoop points. The winning side will therefore score 14 points.
Unofficially the hoops can be placed in any order around the field (more fun).
The sides are made up of either one player per side (singles) or two players per side (doubles). The rules are the same for singles and doubles.
The players take turns and only one plays at a time. At the beginning of a turn the player (called the "striker") has one shot. After that shot
the turn ends, unless extra shots are earned. The turn ends when the striker has no more extra shots to play. Then it is the opponents turn to play.
Extra shots can be earned (1) By scoring the next hoop in order, earning one extra shot, or (2) By striking your ball so that it hits one of the other
three balls, earning two extra shots.
