ABOUT THE GAME
Bocce is an ancient game, whose modern adaptation most closely resembles bowling. It requires skill, strategy, and just a little luck.
Throwing balls toward a target is the oldest game known to mankind. According to primitive graphite drawings, the Egyptians played a form of bocce as early as 5000 B.C. While bocce today looks quite different from its early predecessors, the unbroken thread of bocce’s lineage is the consistently common objective of trying to come as close to a fixed target as possible.
