Marked boundaries are optional.
Wickets may be up to twice as wide as the ball. For all terrains, but level, short grass is best. The game is designed for up to six balls, and may be played with any number of players from two to six. When only four balls are played, the sides are blueblack against redyellow. When the number of players equals the number of balls on a side, each player plays only one ball throughout the game.
