RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to hit their ball through all the wickets and two stakes around the court in the correct order and in the correct direction.On your turn you get one shot to hit your ball as hard or soft as you like. You may only hit the ball with the striking end of the mallet. When you run out of shots your turn is over.
All balls start the game from a spot halfway between the finishing stake and the finishing wicket. The order of play is indicated by the colored stripes on the finishing stake going from top to bottom. Pick a player order and assign players colors based on the order. After all balls have started the game, play continues in the same order until a ball makes it all the way around the court and hits the finishing stake. When a ball is out of the game, the remaining balls continue in the same order, skipping the ball that has finished the course.
If a player plays out of turn, there is no penalty. Any ball moved during the out-of-turn play is replaced to its position prior to the error and play recommences properly. If the striker takes a swing at his/her ball and misses entirely, the miss counts as a shot and the turn ends, unless the striker had a second "bonus" shot. If the striker's mallet accidentally hits another ball, other than the striker’s ball, the shot must be replayed, but with no loss of turn.
Each ball can score wicket and stake points for its side only by going through a wicket or hitting a stake in the proper order and direction. Going through a wicket out of order or in the wrong direction is not counted as a point gained or lost. A ball that scores its wicket or stake during another ball’s turn earns the point for its side, but no bonus shot is earned as a result. A ball scores a wicket point only if it comes to rest clear of the playing side of the wicket. If a ball passes through a wicket but rolls back, it has not scored the wicket. If a ball travels backwards through its wicket to get position, it must be clear of the non-playing side to then score the wicket in the correct direction.
The wicket has a playing side, that is, the direction coming from the last played wicket, and a non-playing side, the direction between it and the next played wicket. You can look at a wicket to determine the position of the ball. Only once a ball fully clears the plane of the playing side of a wicket does it count as a score.
Ball “A” has not started to score the wicket.
Ball “B” has started to score the wicket.
Ball “C” has not scored the wicket.
Ball “D” has scored the wicket.
The striker earns one bonus shot if the striker’s ball scores a wicket or hits the turning stake. The striker earns two bonus shots if the striker’s ball hits another player’s ball. This is called a "roquet". You are not allowed to use the same ball for another roquet, that ball is called “dead”, until you clear your next wicket or on the start of your next turn, whichever comes first.
Two bonus shots are scored by striking another ball, the first of these two shots may be taken in any of four ways:
1. You may position your ball a mallet-head distance or less away from the ball that was hit and then hit your ball. This is called "taking a mallet- head".
2. While the ball is in a position of contact with the ball that was hit, the striker holds their ball steady with their foot or hand, called a "foot shot" or "hand shot", then they may strike their ball and transfer the energy to the other ball, sending it off any direction they choose.
3. While the ball is in a position of contact with the ball that was hit, with the striker’s ball not held by foot or hand, the striker may hit their ball and both balls will move, this is called a "croquet shot".
4. The striker may hit their ball wherever it stopped after the roquet. If a boundary is in use and the striker’s ball went out of bounds, the ball should be measured in one mallet length from where it crossed the boundary.
The second bonus shot after a roquet is an ordinary shot played from where the striker’s ball came to rest, called a "continuation shot"...
Far more complicated than I thought. Well done.
Thanks. This is now our family sheltering in place activity. I'm sure you saved us several arguments.
Same
I'm 62 years old , 2 of my brothers and myself learned to play this game back in 1969 when my mom filled enough green stamp books to get it with . Lot of licking stamps to get that game but we lived out in the country no close neighbor kids so we played it forever. Ive since showed my kids a ND grandkids how to play it. It's really not complicated
I thought this game was going to be much easier, I may have to print out the rules
Just dont keep score
very well made teaching video. thank you for being clear and well spoken.
Loved to play this when I was a kid..it was a lot of fun. I haven't played in years I've in an apartment..so I don't have a yard☹
I played this with my cousin a lot. We just didn't know about the bonus shot rules saying one could have 1 or 2 bonus shots in certain circumstances.
Perfectly explained video! Thanks
Finally! An new way to fight with my family!!
Wow I had no idea there was so many rules to this game. But you speak so well do you teach anything else?
Thanks. I do not teach professionally no.
Just play fair or you'll lose your head by the Queen!
Yes.
Now I wanna watch Alice in Wonderland. Lol
Seems to me the first player up has the advantage in being first to complete the course. The last player basically doesn't have a chance.
Wow, this sounds like the most complicated game. There are too many rules
Thank you for these videos. They help us so much!
Why not pick a starring color then continue in the pole’s order?
Because that’s not following the rules of the game.
I mean, that's what you do. Just whoever picks the top color is the one that goes first.

I’m confused to don’t worry ;-;
This is a not how most people play. This is a very complex set of rule. I suggest you ignore this video and google the rules. There are a lot simpler versions. My family has played this forever. It's really a simple game. Not complicated like this person describes.
Uh huh, sure sounds fun...I think I'll stick to golf.
mira.
Why isn't this game played more often...ohhhh...because there are a billion rules
