What is Poison Croquet?Written by Peter Jay
Continued from page 1
Once a player has become poison, other players can still become poison and win game, although it is much more difficult. The other players still just have to finish course and hit stake at end with their ball, but must do it without allowing player who is currently poison to strike their ball with his or hers. If two or more players are poison, player who hits his ball into other’s first, wins (similar to marbles); or at least that player who was hit by a poison ball is out of game. Once all players are eliminated, except one, game is over and final remaining player wins 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.
