Playaboule pétanque set

  • Posted by: GOOD
  • on June 4, 2008 at 10:03 pm

When you think of lawn games, you probably think of badminton, croquet, or a pedestrian game of catch. But consider pétanque (much like bocce in Italy), the sexy French cousin of American lawn games. Basically, you throw large balls at a smaller ball; the person whose ball is the closest wins. Playaboule is offering this beautiful set of balls for your lazy summer afternoons. It even comes with a measuring device so that your lawn party doesn’t devolve into acrimonious accusations of cheating.
