This bocce set comes with eight painted wooden balls, a jack, and a cotton carry bag, ready to be packed up and taken wherever there’s a bit of open space.

Bocce is part of the boules family, somewhere between pétanque and lawn bowls, but simpler than it sounds. You toss the small ball, then take turns trying to land as close to it as possible. Closest wins. No need to overthink it.

Best played with friends, something cold in hand, and the sun still hanging around. It’s less about keeping score, more about staying out a little longer.
