A game can be conducted between two ⚽️ players, or two teams of two, three, or four.
From then on, the side which does not have the ball closest ⚽️ to the jack has a chance to bowl, up until one side or the other has used their four balls.
At ⚽️ that point, the other side bowls its remaining balls.
A variation called bocce volo uses a metal ball, which is thrown ⚽️ overhand (palm down), after a run-up to the throwing line.
