I'm sure if we keep digging we will find every country has its own version of this game...

Well, Bambi can box so Goliath better not be grabbing or pawing Falene.
Also, he has nice hair. Natural nice hair!
And besides that drivel, I am hoping you underestimate the son of Pierre.

La partie se nomme (Molkky). My neighbor is the guy who startrd this fun game. From Quebec. He had a local carpenter make the wooden cylinders ..each has a number. You roll or toss another wooden cylinder trying to knock down the group of cylinders. It,s great for the beach..cylinders stay put much better than balls on a beach! They speak English so feel free to talk to them !!

Hello, it is called Bocci Ball....Google it for more info, a fun game.

It is not called Bocci Ball.
The name of that sport is Bocce.
No "Ball" in the title.

What the OP described is not Bocce, since cylinders were being used.

The French play a game called Petanque... Kinda like Italian Bocce but with metal balls...

If the objects are cylindrical, I suspect it may be a game called Bones. We play it every summer at the lake in Alberta. The 'bones' are placed in the sand in a line about 10 inches apart, one line for each player or team. Each player gets 3 bones to toss to see how many can be knocked over. Then the other team gets a turn. First one to knock down all the bones wins! It was probably played with buffalo bones back in the day.
