Bocce is an ancient game of skill dating back over 7,000 years. The rules are simple, throw your ball as close as you can to the pauline. Whoever is closer scores points, then you move to that location and repeat. These simple rules create endless possibilities for variation in game play over different terrain and with different obstacles.

*4 unique levels offering different challenges
*48 hidden balls to customize your player
*Play with up to 8 players at once in online multiplayer

This isn't tournament bocce, constrained to small square! Explore wherever you want, throw the pauline wherever you want, play wherever you want!

A must have addition!

I love this game and can’t wait until it’s massive with leagues, tournaments etc. makes me smile all the time. You can play anywhere indoors outdoors and this adds a whole new dimension to the game. I love the random start position and the 4 big maps to explore. I will be buying this for friends great gift for Christmas.

Love this game!

I love VR games that give me the freedom to explore, while also playing such a fun game. I've enjoyed this style of "free range" bocce in my own backyard. It's so much fun to choose your challenge.
Want to play in an open area and keep it somewhat simplified? You can.
Want to create a real complicated round and bounce the Pauline off some grape vines? You should!
It's too easy to lose track of time in this game but that is in no way a bad thing! The fun never stops.
I absolutely love the custom balls that you can "unlock" when you play near obstacles.
The scenery is fantastic. The music is soothing. The details were clearly thought about. This game is beautiful.
Highly recommend!! 👍🏻

I love bocce and I love this game

This game really captures the way I learned how to play bocce when I was young. I never even knew that playing bocce in a court, back and forth on flat sand was thing until I was an adult. We would always play while camping in the woods or at the beach up and down the hills, across different surfaces where the ball would go faster or slower, over rocks and around trees, just going wherever the game would take us.

This game captures all of those things with 4 large levels to play on where you could play many many games and never see the same shot twice. The simple rules of the game and nearly endless variety of terrains to play in just make it so much fun to keep coming back to over and over. I've been involved in the Beta testing for quite a while. We play pretty much every week on Saturday and Sunday for months now and I just never get tired of it because it's always different.

I would definitely recommend trying this game out with a friend!

May the balls roll ever in your favor

This is a fun, wonderful, great game for everyone and suitable for all ages.
Fans of Walkabout Mini Golf will likely love Backyard Bocce. When you have a bad day golfing you can have a good day boccing instead.
Big maps to play in, with different atmosphere and obstacles, makes for fun, challenging and varied gameplay. You can tell a lot of time and love has been put into designing the maps.
If you're not familiar with bocce, don't worry. There's a good, quick tutorial explaining the simple rules, and some VR-mechanics used in the game.
Being rewarded with new balls to play with, when hitting certain objects, is fun and... eh... rewarding.
I'm having a good time participating in online multiplayer games. When you don't have anyone to play with there are six different levels of AI to choose from, so everyone can find an opponent that match their skill.
Play indoors, play outdoors, play on the roofs, boldly play where no man has played before.
