Everything Boche!

[Lancer]

I've got balls, how do I play with them?

I need rules.

[BeBMan]

"Boche"???

Why do you want to insult me?

[Lancer]

:Totally lost:

However I haven't insulted you lately, you are overdue. Now, could you explain how I have done so? I might enjoy it too then.

Well, "Boche" is a French insult towards Germans. I dunno what exactly it means, but I was told it's their worst against us Krauts specifically

From what I know, you take the small ball and toss it, but how far? Then you take the big balls and alternately try to get them close while knocking away the other guy.

Right? Any other rules?

[Lancer]

Oh that's right! You are the boche! I think it's from WWI.

They have a game named after that? No can't be. Hell, when I was a kid I played once with family in Bavaria.

You may not throw your ball at an opponent - besides that, you are on the rules.

Oh, and the name of the game is boule

[Lancer]

Is that Fwench?

Is there a limit to how far to throw the little ball?

[BlackCat]

Si si, also known as petanque.

nahh.

[Lancer]

Lost? Maybe you but not me.

When in doubt ask Zkribbler. He knows all things.

Can you believe it? The playing area is 76' long! That's huge...

I see I misspelled it.
