While fiddling around with Google I cameacross this picture of a game called "pétanque atout".
It seems popular in retirement homes in Quebec, Canada and reminds me of the bowling machines one still finds in arcades.
"Atout" means "trump" in French, the board displays the 4 playing card suits, so I assume you roll pétanque balls aiming for particular holes. No idea what the rolling distance is.
Can anyone shed some more light on this game, and how it started?
