I saw a set at Target and wondered what it was.

Your guess is as good as mine. Never heard of it.

It's kinda a cross between bowling and shuffleboard.

It's an Italian lawn bowling game and it's fun.

Yep, what Shellie said. Lawn bowling and fun. Played it at a work picnic many years ago, then got one for birthday. Fun for the whole family. My kids love it.

Is it as much fun as croquet?



Or, cornhole?

Completely different game from croquet. just as much fun in my opinion.

It's not as weird as it sounds!

I think it is local because I never heard of it until we moved here... but that is fun too, basicly it is like a bean bag toss only with bags of dried corn... (Hoosier thing...)

Sophia on Golden Girls always enjoyed playing it.

I'm told that cornhole started right here in good ole' Ohio!

Cliff Huxtable played it on the Cosby show.

I remember in the movie Splash when the Eugene Levy character was surprised at one point he yelled, "Bochee Balls!". As a nine year old, that was one of the funniest lines I had ever heard.

I don't think Jennifer is aware of the other definition of that word. (And Jennifer, whatever you do, don't Google it, 'cause Lord only knows what results you'll get.)

I sorta figured from the response I got...!

Thanks for the heads-up, I won't google that!
