Palet (1000)

Palet is a traditional French game, mechanically very similar to the well-known boules, but requiring significantly greater dexterity to play well. Cast iron, slightly convex disks are thrown onto a soft-wooden board ("la planche") from a distance of 5 metres. Players attempt to throw their palets closest to the "master Palet" (le maitre / the jack). Each Palet a player lands nearer to the jack than their opponents' palets counts one point. First player to reach 12 points wins the game. The more you play Palet, the more the board cuts up with dents and divots. When "la planche est faite" this adds to the unpredictable behavior and charm of the game.
