Croquet

  • by Adrian Nickols

I say, fancy a spot of croquet on the lawns? Take up your mallet and be the first team to get your balls through all of the hoops and hit the centre peg. Jolly good!

Gameplay

  • The first side strikes a ball to pass through the first hoop.
  • If the ball clears the first hoop, you may take another shot. If not, play passes to the other team.
  • All four balls must be played in the first four turns. Teams can decide which of their balls they will play each turn.
  • You’re free to psych out your opponents by hitting one of their balls, earning yourself two extra shots. The first of these shots must be taken from where the knocked ball has ended up. Place your ball so it is touching the other ball and play your shot. The second shot must be played on the same ball.
  • The winning team is the first to have hit their balls through all hoops in the correct order and reached the peg.
