How to Play
The Five Basic Rules:
As adapted from the US Croquet Association Official Rules of Golf Croquet, 6th Edition.
1. One hit per turn: Blue, Red, Black and Yellow starting within one handle length of yellow corner.
2. Score hoops 1 – 5 clockwise.
3. First ball through the hoop scores that hoop; once a hoop is scored, all play to the next hoop.
4. A ball re-enters where it leaves the court.
5. Offside: If your ball is more than halfway to the next hoop when the current hoop is scored, without hitting or being hit by an opponent ball, then your opponent can place your ball at either red X for your next hit or leave it where it is. Hit from within one handle length radius of the X.
