FAQs

How many players can use this set?

The set includes eight boules, allowing for games with two to eight players, or team play.

What are the dimensions of the boules?

While specific dimensions are not provided, the boules are designed to standard sizes for boules/pétanque, suitable for comfortable handling.

Can I use these boules on a hard surface like concrete?

It is recommended to use the wooden boules on softer surfaces like grass or dirt. Hard surfaces can cause premature wear and damage to the wood.

How do I clean the wooden boules?

Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking the wood or using abrasive cleaners.

What is the material of the carry bag?

The carry bag is made of durable, padded canvas material designed for protection and portability.

Are the engraved patterns random, or are there specific sets?

There are four unique and beautiful engraved patterns, with two boules featuring each pattern, allowing for easy team or player identification.

Is this set suitable for children?

This set is designed for adults and older teenagers. Adult supervision is recommended if children are playing.

Troubleshooting

Boules feel rough or lose their shine.

Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. For minor roughness, you can apply a small amount of wood polish specifically designed for game equipment and buff gently.

Carry bag zipper is stuck.

Try gently wiggling the zipper while pulling. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax if the issue persists.

Wooden jack is difficult to spot on certain surfaces.

Consider placing a small, bright marker (like a colored handkerchief) near the jack's location, or ensure the playing area has good contrast with the jack.
