MEASUREMENTS

Players typically throw from a fixed line roughly 2 to 4 meters from the target circle.

HOW TO PLAY
1

A small circular target is marked or placed on the ground a set distance away from a throwing line.

2

Each player, in turn, tosses their pellets underhand trying to land them inside the target circle or as close to its center as possible.

3

Pellets landing inside the circle score points, with a smaller inner ring worth more than the outer area, similar in spirit to a target-toss game.

4

After every player has thrown their full set of pellets, the round's points are tallied using the scoring sticks.

5

Play continues for an agreed number of rounds, and players keep a running total across rounds.

6

The player with the highest cumulative score when the match ends is the winner.
