🎯 Goal of the game

Palet Match is a game of skill and chance.
It can be played by 2, 3, or 4 players, or in teams of 2.

Throw your pucks as close as possible to the dice and reach 50, 100 or 200 points before your opponents!

👤 Single player mode (2 to 4 players)

Each player has 4 pucks of the same color but different values ​​(from 1 to 4). Only one color can win each round.

Each player rolls the die. The highest roll begins. In case of a tie, the roll is repeated.

At the beginning of each round, the first player rolls the die and places it no more than 4 or 5 meters away, then throws their puck. Everyone takes turns, then the player furthest from the die plays again until all the pucks have been thrown.

Each player can also attempt to aim the die to move or flip it to their advantage (this can earn you extra points; optional rules below).

The pucks closest to the die win the round. In the next round, players roll in the order of their previous placement: the closest starts, then the second, and so on.

🏆 Scoring system

Only one color wins the round. The closest pucks score points. If their total value is equal to that of the die, the two values ​​are multiplied; otherwise, they are added together.

Example: The die is on 6 and there are 3 winning pucks:

1 + 2 + 3 = 6. The score will be 6 x 6 = 36. Whereas if the 3 pucks had been: 1 + 2 + 4 = 7, the score would be 7 + 6 = 13.

If a player places all of his pucks closest to the die, then he scores 20 additional points.

The first player to reach 50, 100 or 200 points (to be defined at the start of the game) wins the game.

🤝 Team Mode (2 vs 2)

The rules are the same as in the free-for-all game, except that:


  • The winning pucks take into account both team colors.

  • The furthest puck determines which team must throw a puck (if they have any left).

  • At the end of each round, the values ​​of the team's winning pucks are added together.
  • If you play with the optional rule of scoring points by hitting the die with your puck, the points go to the team.

The closest team starts the next round. The order of players is determined by the teams.

👧👦🏿 Mode Kids (4 à 7 ans)

Pour les petits enfants, les règles sont simples et reprennent celles de la pétanque :

  • Placez le dé à une distance maximale de 3 mètres. Il fera office de cochonnet.
  • Les enfants disposent de 4 palets de la même couleur.
  • Chaque joueur lance son premier palet le plus près du dé (on ne prend pas en compte la valeur du palet).
  • Le joueur le plus loin rejoue comme à la pétanque.
  • A la fin de la manche, on compte les palets de la même couleur les plus proches du dé : 1 palet = 1 point.

Le premier joueur à atteindre les 7 points remporte la partie.

🔥 Optional rules (solo or team)

Ajoutez du challenge avec ces variantes :

  • Toucher le dé avec un palet rapporte immédiatement autant de points que la valeur du palet.

  • Poser un palet sur ou contre le dé rapporte 10 points (si encore en place en fin de manche).

  • Jouez en 1 contre 1 avec 8 palets : Avec la version 4 joueurs, il est possible aussi de jouer à 2 joueurs avec 8 palets par joueur. Dans ce cas là : la valeur du dé est doublée et le premier à 100 ou 200 points remporte la partie

Palet Match est un jeu de précision, de stratégie mais surtout de fun ! Maintenant à vous de jouer !

Knowing the rules is good, having the game is better!
