A typical Yak-o Ball game involves 2 teams with 2 players on each team but it is possible to play 1 vs. 1 player as well.
Team members stand on opposite sides of the course from each other.
One side starts with all 8 balls (4 of each color) as players will alternate rolling his / her team’s Yak-o Balls towards the holes or troughs on the other end of the course.
The game starts with the youngest player between both teams rolling first.
Note: All balls must be rolled, if a ball is thrown it results in a forfeit of any points for that roll. When rolling a ball, it must stay within the course boundary or lines to score any points.
The team who scored the most points in the previous turn rolls first for the next round.
The teams continue to play until a team scores the winning number of points for a particular course.
