Objective:	Get your Boccini™ ball closest to the target ball (pallino). It is legal to hit the pallino or your opponent’s ball. Play to 21 total points, or any odd number agreed upon before starting the match. You do not have to win by 2 points.
Equipment:	Official Boccini™ set includes: Official Boccini™ bag, 9 balls: 4 pairs of 2 colors + pallino (the single odd colored Boccini™ ball).
Players:	Choose 2 teams having from 1-4 players on each team.
Step 1:	Please insure target area is clear of humans, animals, and breakable items. Decide which team throws first. Player 1 throws the pallino anywhere they want, then throws their first Boccini™ ball, trying to get it as close as possible to the pallino. Take turns throwing the Boccini™ balls, alternating between teams, also trying to be the closest to the pallino.
Step 2:	Repeat Step 1 going in previous throwing order, until all balls are thrown. Score 1 point for each team whose Boccini™ balls are closest to the pallino. This ends the Round.
Step 3:	The winner of each round picks up the pallino throws it anywhere, and repeats Steps 1 and 2 until the agreed upon odd number of total points have been reached.
Scoring:	The closest Boccini™ ball to the pallino gets the point. If any opponent’s Boccini™ balls are next closest, scoring is over, and the closest player gets one point. If any player or team has the next 2 to 4 closest balls, they get 2 to 4 points, etc. Play to 21 total points, or any odd number agreed upon before starting the match. You do not have to win by 2 points.

Scoring examples: (P) is the pallino, and solid ball is shown scoring the points.

Due to the unique nature of the material we use to make our Boccini™ balls, you can safely play worry free on virtually any surface.

Please insure target area is clear of humans, animals, and breakable items!

Open Boccini™:
Boccini can be played virtually anywhere. Don’t just play on the ground or floor. Play anywhere that is safe. Try tossing the pallino onto the floor, couch, bed, a bench, or shelf for exciting play!

Boccini™ Golf:
Use your empty Boccini™ bag as the golf hole. Players would create a “Par” or predetermined number of shots needed to reach the golf hole. (Par 2, 3, etc.) Example: Possibly down a hallway and a 90 degree turn into another hallway or room. The team closest to the hole wins the point.

Obstacle Boccini™:
Try to going under, over and around any obstacle. Place objects like backpacks, books, toys, etc. on the playing surface and maneuver Boccini™ balls around them.

Boccini™ Scalini: (Stairs)
Boccini™ played on the stairs. Each player stands at the bottom of the stairs. First player tosses the pallino onto any stair. If they can’t keep the pallino on a stair, the pallino goes to next player in line until someone is able to keep the pallino on a stair. Next, try and place your Boccini™ balls closest to the pallino. Also, for more difficult play: try to play progressive (start at bottom step and work your way up to the top, one step at a time).

Boccini™ Toccare: (Touch)
Before play begins, Player 1 must declare which object they are going to touch “toccare” with the pallino before they toss it. Next, Player 1 gently bounces the pallino off of that object. Every Boccini™ ball thereafter has to mimic the same touch. Example: Declare a bounce of the pallino off of a closed door, then each Boccini™ shot thereafter must be first bounced off of the same door.

Boccini ™ Circolo (Circle)
This fun game can be played with an unlimited amount of players! Place pallino anywhere, stand or sit in a circle around it. Closest to the pallino wins the point.
