First of all...Thanks to Jimmy Westfield for his sense of fair play and dedication to the purity of the sport of Petanque regardless of his experience.
MBMB (mulutiple boules...multiple bouchons) was born of creative minds on a lark...in between tournament play...the result of a crazy suggestion between open minds.
And so it is.
Many unanticipated situations occur as this game transpires. I saw one guy get 7 points in one hand by scoring on the two bouchons we played. Good for him...shame on us.
For the record, I have never played 3d chess on a triple level board. I doubt that I ever will. Will I ever play tennis with two balls in play at once? Yeah, for a hoot.
MBMB is an alternate game. To be sure, every player is out for himself. So what's new about that?
One would think that these games are necessarily shorter because of the multiple scoring possibilities. Rarely so in my experience.
In Petanque, I think we like the game of doubles so much because we each get 3 boules. Here's a game where you get 4,5 and 6, boules and 2,3 and 4 bouchons. Simple math says boles x bouchones = Happiness. It's exponential.
Is it illegal? I don't know. An opinion by FIPJP is notwithstanding.
Probably just an American anomoly...again.
