For some of us, Bocce is a game that made our childhoods better and 3D Bocce Ball will bring back those beautiful courtyard memories. For others that don’t know the game of Bocce, you can think of it as a mix between a game of bowling and curling. It is a boules sports game, similar to petanque, raffa or crown green bowling, that dates back to the Roman times.

3D Bocce Ball is a free simulator of the traditional ball throwing game, similar to petanque, that helps you have fun while testing (and improving) your fast reaction skills. Your goal is to defeat your Bocce opponent by throwing metal balls as close to an original target (Jack or Boccino) as possible.

== HOW TO PLAY 3D BOCCE BALL ==

① A player starts by throwing the first boule, the "Boccino" (or Jack). This is the smallest Bocce ball used as a guide.
② Each player takes turns in throwing their remaining bowls, with the goal of placing them as close to the target ball as possible.
③ The Bocce game round finishes when all players have used all their balls (4).
④ The player with the closest ball to the Boccino is only one that scores points, only for those balls that are closer to the Boccino (jack) than the other player's closest one.
⑤ Each Bocce game has several rounds or sets.

3D Bocce Ball offers a realistic simulation of the original game and can be played against the AI in single player mode or with your friends in multiplayer mode. Much like a bowling or curling, correct aim and timing is everything. 3D Bocce Ball is thus an excellent sports game for those that want to work on their accuracy.
