Plant stakes just beyond the top and bottom wickets.

]]> 77171 2 30 Tip If you wish, mark the outer boundaries of the playing field with string and stakes.

]]> 77172 3 36 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/204095/36.jpg Choose a color Choose the color of the ball you wish to play. Order of play is determined by the colors on the stakes. The top color goes first.

]]> 77173 4 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/204095/43.jpg Begin play Place your ball between the first stake and the first wicket. Strike the ball with the face of the mallet aiming it to go through the wicket.

]]> 77174 5 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/204095/51.jpg Advance through the course Receive a bonus stroke each time your ball goes through a wicket, and move counter-clockwise to the next wicket. If a player’s ball does not go through a wicket, it is the next player’s turn.

]]> 77175 6 61 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/204095/61.jpg Earn bonus points Earn two bonus strokes by hitting another player’s ball with your ball. This is called roqueting. With your bonus strokes you can hit your ball, hit both balls, or – with your ball touching the other ball, and holding your ball down with your foot – knock the other one away.

]]> 77176 7 76 Tip If a ball is sent over the boundary, place it one mallet-length (about three feet) inside the boundary and resume play from there.

]]> 77177 8 83 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/204095/83.jpg Win the game The first player to pass through all wickets in proper order and hit the turning stake and finishing stake is the winner. Other players may continue playing to determine who finishes second, third, and so on.

]]> 77178 9 94 Fact The word “mall” comes from the original French name for croquet, “paille-maille,” which means ball-mallet.
