Can this set be used indoors?

Troubleshooting

Boules appear to be rusting.

Ensure boules are dry before storing. Wipe them with a clean, dry cloth after each use. If rust spots appear, gently scrub with a fine steel wool pad and re-wipe. Store in a dry environment.

Carry bag zipper is stiff.

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or a graphite lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Ensure no boules are obstructing the zipper path.

Difficulty throwing accurately on uneven ground.

Adjust your throwing stance and technique to compensate for the terrain. The game is designed to be adaptable to different outdoor environments, so experimentation is key.

Jack is difficult to see on certain backgrounds.

Consider placing a small, contrasting marker (like a piece of paper or a leaf) near the jack, or use a tape measure to help gauge distances accurately.
