Cut your losses and protect the rear

2004-05-07 04:57

Your opponent has the point, and all of your boules are near the cochon. You have only one boule left to play while your opponent has 3 or more.




You must defend against the possibility that your opponent will shoot the cochon past your boules and then easily point to it with their remaining boules. Throw your last boule so it lands well beyond the cochon. Your opponent will not wish to risk shooting the cochon and possibly move it closer to your further boule giving you the point.
