Jeu de Boules

Van der Valk Hotel Lelystad has two Jeu de Boules courts. Boules are available at the reception desk.

Rules of play

- Throwing is done from the throwing circle. Both feet of the player must be in the circle.
- The starting player throws the but.
- The first player tries to throw the boule as close to the but as possible.
- Now it is the other player's turn. The other player tries to throw a boule closer to the but. This can be done by throwing a boule closer or by throwing a boule away.
- If they succeed, it is the other team's turn.
- If not, the same team can keep throwing until it succeeds. When all the boules have been thrown, it is the other team's turn.
- When all boules have been played, the winning team gets as many points as the number of balls closer to the but than the best boule from the opposing team.
- The team that won the previous throwing round gets to start the new throwing round. The throwing circle is placed again.
- The team that scores 13 points first is the winner.
- If during the game the but goes outside the lane, the game round is played again.
