for those of you in the UK or Australia or NZ, this is American Croquet - generally, we play Association Croquet which is quite different and a lot of these rules don't apply, and the singles game is very different.
I don't want to have to say association croquet every time I want to refer to that game. I'm going to shorten it.
Ass. croquet
Trying to figure out how I got here after crying about my due assignments.
Realizing I've never played this the correct way in my life. In fact, I think I like the way we did it better. We would just set up the little wickets all over the place and make our way through them. More like a Goofy golf course than anything else.
That’s how I played when I was younger
Same. Just like at the Queen of Hearts course in Alice in wonderland- you know, with the flamingo mallets and hedgehog balls… 🙃😂🦩🦔
Yep, that's how we played it too.
Yup. If you ask me, that’s the proper way to play. Keep it interesting.
This is how we played the game as kids too. Now, many decades later, I needed a refresher course in how to play. Thanks for the video, it all came back to me as I watched. I have a beautiful area down by the river for the course that’s much larger than needed & a very nice croquet set I bought years ago but never got around to using until now. Wifey & I will be playing this evening & weekend :) Can’t wait to “send” her ball screaming across the lawn to the edge of the river FAR away from where she needed to be, that was always my favorite part of the game!😈
**me watching so I can play croquet like they do in heathers**
Oml same i just rewatched heathers--
OMG SAMEEE
That’s why i’m here 😌✌️
Why are you exposing me??😂😂😂
Me here because I forgot how to play croquet because I started playing to be like Heathers
My grandmother had a croquet set. I don't believe I've done anything with croquet in like 24 years or so, but I'd try it again someday.
I really needed to know how to play croquet so thank you good sir
I found this very helpful 🙂
Thank you! I had a set but never knew how to play
The fun part about backyard croquet is the freedom you have of creating rules lol - i honestly never knew about the bonus shots when hitting other players ball.
Great 'structions! This backyard game is hilarious with a bunch of friends.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation
This was Amazing. Thank you. I plan to plan in Domino Park in Williamsburg Brooklyn. I'm excited yet nervous.
Been looking for a set for years and Finally got a set! I already knew the rules, but wanted to make sure I remember it correctly!!! I did... Back yard rules are the most fun because...... Other than changing the "established" rules... You can invent more... I confess that usually the "made up rules" involves drinking alcohol! Lol
Fascinating. I will definitely try this.
Glad to see more yard games.
Great! Any other yard games you would like to see?
@@GatherTogetherGames bocce be a good one. My family's main yard game was horsesheos.
GREAT video!
We never play this peaceful. Someone’s always tossing a mallet accusing another player of cheating. It’s what makes the game lol
how do you cheat in croquet?
Any fights like in hockey?
@@chrisballas3356 Nah, everyone leaves with the teeth they came with.
While as a Brit I’m ashamed that an American hat to teach me the rules - Thank you very much! Your explanation was fantastic!
this was excellent
My neighbor when I was a kid made his own croquet set and also had stripes and solids with a 8 ball and a giant astro turf pool table in his backyard and it worked.
Short, sweet and to the point…
Thank You!
Yes I can confirm this is the correct way to play.
The whole family would play back in the day
Excellent video. Am I correct in thinking that when you reach the stake on the opposite side of the course even if it bounces off the stake you are free to hit it as normal? (I originally thought it had it be touching the stake and a person should strike the stake the get the ball to move)
thank you sir
Who’s here after the finale of Alice in Borderlands S2?
🙋♂️
Me
I do not know how I ended up here but I love it
Great. Thanks.
Thank you
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don’t know y but the game makes me real really rich it’s my favorite outdoor game that’s like golf
I need to try this game at some point. Whenever that may be.
On sale at Best Buy today’s deal
It's a fun game.
que sera sera, whatever will be will be
So i rewatched heathers...
and uhm...I thought i’d learn cause of it..
Nice now I just need someone to play it with
thank you for explaining!! my friend and i play this and we weren’t too sure if we were doing it correctly and this video helped a lot!!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I got here from reading Alice in Wonderland. I never knew how to play, but the rules actually sound quite simple.
Same here😂
Please do “how to play bocce” next!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Ok this actually sounds fun-
I remember that our family ENJOYED playing this game in 1941-1942 before moving to Makassar
I thought EVERY KID played this in the 70s, that’s when I realized my CHILDHOOD wasn’t NORMAL. I played basketball, football, and baseball but this was on the REGULAR. *Told you my LIFE was a complicated one and I still would go to the PROJECTS to visit my Grandmother & relatives. SO AS A KID I KNEW other kids didn’t have what I had!!! So it caused ME TO ACT OUT. ON EVERYTHING I LOVE ❤️
It was really helpful, I was over here trying to play croquet with my friend in our yard, LOL (boredom)
So the rule about contacting a ball and then going through the wicket on the same shot…do you have to go back and hit it through the wicket cleanly?
I literally had to learn this for a theatre production(don't ask which one; I'm not saying.) so thank you very much.
Which theater production was it? Please tell me, I HAVE to KNOW!
@@jeffbell4434 Your sarcasm levels are off the charts, I'm impressed.
You're really good at explaining how games work, i was wondering on how to play "2 Indian Card Poker" can you please make a video explaining it? Thank you for reading!
crazy sport !
I got lost on the 4 variations because they seem so similar.
Me watching because of the one episode in the Original Ducktales and of course Alice in wonderland too.
Under no surcomastances can you hold down your ball when you shot away your oponents ball
Why I'm watching this, I'm Mexican? Anyway great video and greetings from Mexico!!
Thank you
❤🎊💯🦚
🙏🏼🎓🤓♾️
Field set up is not well explained. How far from the stake does the first wicket need to be set, and then how far is the second wicket from the first. Also what is the distance to the Diamond shape wickets etc etc. ? Good video though just need some more information. Gave it a thumbs up.
I mean having the two right next to the beginning is kind of pointless don’t you think? Like I mean if you make the first one you most likely will make the next one which is 6in away?
This is like golf for beginners?
I've always been intrigued by this game but I don't like the penalty hit where you put your foot on your ball and whack the crap out of the opponent's ball then take your turn. I'd imagine that can start a little conflict. (?)
YEAH I KNEW HOW TO PLAY THIS BEFORE.....Basketball, Baseball, or Football!!! *Had my weekend battles at the Watkins house around my Kindergarten days. 😂😂😂😂 ON EVERYTHING I LOVE
YEAH ME.....YOUR BOY!!! 😂😂😂😂
Who decides who gets to be orange or the first one? It seems like whoever is first has the advantage.
I'd probably rather go last. When we played as kids that bonus shot to send the opponents ball flying was brutal. Going first means your ball is ripe for everyone else to hit at it
Came here from Alice in Borderland.
Watch this video to know how the game really work.
Now the tutorial of petanca!
What if you go past the wicket? Do you have to send it back and hit it in
Nevermind
Alice: "Do you want us both to lose our heads?"
Flamingo: "Uh-huh."
Alice: "Well, I don't!"
Got confused near the end. It all made sense at first and then you just lost me. Could be because I smoked a really good joint in between. I’m hoping I can figure it out by July 9. I think it looks fun for a party on our lawn. Thank you I’m going to watch it again. And possibly again and again. All those colours. 🇨🇦🥰
Only true Gz play these and know these rules
Can you pipe down over there, iron lung? Huehuehuehuehue.
I had a croquet when I was 13 yo. I didn't imagine that it was a game for adults.
❤
This is a garden game, and nothing like international rules croquet, where you have 'hoops' rather than ‘wickets', and have just 6 of them. Also the mallets, balls, and playing surface are of a much more 'professional' type.
Who Cares?
here after bridgerton
Everything they taught me in Alice in wonderland was wrong!!
This is spot on, apart from your lawn, way too long Sir
Whats Better:Golf Or Croquet?
I’m in Heathers the musical rn and I’m watching this for reference 😂
Now I can finally be the 19th century aristocrat I always wanted to be
Hmm...maybe next family picnic
The version of the game that no-one plays. Why not explain Golf Croquet or Association Croquet? Also, most players swing the mallet between their legs.
Is this like pool? or putt putt?
Kinda
Mira
I'm here because of Imawa no Kuni no Alice
I always confused Cricket with Croquet 🤦🏼♀️
Today my match of this game so please tell me good luch
Sorry my luck spelling is wrong
A little late but good luck 🤞
Rules take the fun out of drunk croquet 😢
im here because sketchy medicine made a video about benign bone tumors referencing this game.
Mario Wario Waluigi Luigi Donkey Kong and Mario and Luigi's other brother I hear, blue cap, Baluigi or something
The colors
BaLuGiO
I'm still confused. May need to re watch and do more reading.
I literally thought this was the same a cricket lmao

Hello everyone
Frost eye

Alice in borderland brought me here
Who came here after seeing a question in AMA?
Just in case...
“Me watching because of school”😮
More rules than chess.
If another player makes a comment that upsets you, a bonus shot to the player's head is awarded. If you hit another player's head, unlimited bonus shots are awarded to their head.
Surely that grass is far too long?😁😁😁😁
What you know you don't for get we getting like veteranos I for got how to play golden sport
Billy the kid played this game around the 18th century
