ok so you should have one smaller ball than the others. You have one person roll that as far or as close as they want. After that you take turns trying to get your color ball the closest to the smaller one. You CAN knock the others persons ball out of the way. The person who got closest wins one point. If two of your balls are closest to the smaller one you get two points. You can choose how many points you wanna go up to depending on how long you want your game to be. Oh and the person closest to the smaller ball gets to throw it the next round.
