player who hits his ball into repparttar 137072

other’s first, wins (similar to marbles); or at least that player who was hit by a poison ball is out of repparttar 137073

game. Once all players are eliminated, except one, repparttar 137074

game is over and repparttar 137075

final remaining player wins repparttar 137076

game. Poison croquet is popular among amateur croquet and yard game players because of its casual play and simple rules. One advantage of poison croquet is that it can be played on nearly any type of terrain. Like American or backyard nine-wicket croquet, poison croquet is traditionally played in any grass field, long or tall, thick or thin. However, poison croquet can also be played on other terrains to make it more interesting or to just change things. It can be played on a more rugged terrain or playing field with obstacles rather than being limited to a professional or well-groomed playing field.
