Task description:
Croquet can be a hobby or a sport competition.
The game originates from a game in Naples and has had its greatest
success and spread to England.
Indeed the croquet was a pastime for the English aristocracy.
Involves hitting wooden or plastic balls with a mallet through small arcs
of metal buried in the field.
The aim of the game is to score points by passing a ball hit by a bat
under the doors arranged to form a well-defined path, after which you
have to hit a picket at the center of the field.
The game is won by those who first path ends with both balls available,
or by who scores the most points in an agreed time.

Norms/rules:
-The winner must score 26 points (12 points of passage of the arches and
the point of the peg, for each ball).
-A turn consists of a single shot, but you can earn extra shots:
if the ball scores a point through a headband, the player has the right to
another shot;
if the ball hits another ball (roquet), the player places his ball in contact
with the ball hit and pulls his ball so that the other moves or oscillates
(shot croquet); after this shot, the player is entitled to a further blow.
-Players are entitled to alternating shifts.
-If the ball hits another ball (roquet), the player places his ball in contact
with the ball hit and pulls his ball so that the other moves or oscillates
(shot croquet); after this shot, the player is entitled to a further blow.
-The player can hit the balls of the opponent only once for turn, and in
this way can make a number of points (break service) in the same turn.
-A round ends when the player has run out of shots at his disposal, or if it
sends out a golf ball after a shot of croquet, or if he commits a foul.

Alternatives:
If you do not have all the right tools to play croquet you can create a
path in a closed space using cones instead of bows and playing with his
hands and with the tennis balls.
