Croquet is a lawn game where players use a mallet to hit a ball through a series of hoops. Despite its seemingly straightforward rules, the game offers a challenge for even the most experienced players, as the gaps between the hoops are tightly measured. Most games are played in pairs, allowing for a social and enjoyable experience, but there are also opportunities for more competitive play.
