Batteries and game variations are included. The batteries are good for 40 to 50 hours of play. The balls are not designed to be thrown against rocks or repeatedly bounced on pavement. That's not how bocce is played, anyway. Pronounced botch-ee, the Italian game is played by rolling wooden balls on a narrow court of sand or dirt.
Lawn bowling is the same, except the balls are rolled on a smooth grass court.
The idea is for your wooden ball to roll closest to the target ball. Some croquet sets come with a white target ball for bocce. The game is more popular on the East Coast, and it's similar to the Portland Rose Festival's bowling on the green. Skizzo production has employed 10 part-time people. Green and Williams believe the lighted plastic balls could create up to 30 full-time jobs.
