TECHNICAL TERMS
o Roquet - to roquet a ball is to cause your ball, by a stroke of the mallet, to come in contact with another, either directly or indirectly. By roqueting you get two additional bonus strokes.
o Croquet - to strike one's own ball when in contact with a roqueted ball, the player is allowed to put his foot on his own ball and with his mallet, drive it against the other and send it in any direction.
o Roquet Croquet - it is about the same as croquet. It is not necessary to put the foot upon the ball, but the player may, by striking his ball, send both in any direction.
o Ricochet - the act of roqueting two or more balls by one strike of the mallet.
o Rover - Can be used in doubles and triples. When a ball has been through all of the wickets and before it strikes the starting stake and the player prefers to continue to play, he makes his ball a rover to aid his own side and drive the others back.
OBJECT OF THE GAME
The object of the game is to race your opponent around the playing course and hit the finishing stake first. There are always two sides or opponents.
The red/yellow/orange balls always play the blue/black/green balls. 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 players play the game. When the number of balls equals the number of players each player gets their own color ball. When the number of balls does not equal the number of players, the players on that side alternate turns and may play any one ball on their side in a turn. With two players, each of them plays all three balls on a side.
1. The sequence of colors on the starting stake determines the order in which players shall play. The top color is first to play and so forth.
2. The starting "tee" is one-third of the distance between the starting stake and the middle of the first wicket.
3. The ball must be struck and not pushed, and always with the full face of the mallet.

9. A player may, if he wholly misses the ball, strike again
10. In case a player plays out of turn, he is deprived of his next turn.
11. If a member of the game plays with the wrong ball, the player must replace the ball and loose a turn.
12. If your ball croquets an opponent's ball and both balls pass through a wicket you can either: croquet or continue. But the croqueted ball (opponent's) must be driven through the same wicket again.
