Bocce and it's variants. Normally, played on a flat court (13 feet wide, 91 feet in length) with one small ball (called also jack/boccino/pallino) and each team having 4 big balls. In the simplest variant, there are 2 players/teams.

#Action

Action

The 1st player throws the jack on the pitch. Then he bowls one of his 4 balls. Then the 2nd player bowls one of his 4 balls. From then on, the side which does not have the ball closest to the jack has a chance to bowl, up until one side or the other has used their four balls. Then the other side uses its remaining balls.

#Scoring

Scoring

The team with the closest ball to the jack is the only team that can score points in any frame. The scoring team receives one point for each of their balls that is closer to the jack than the closest ball of the other team. The length of a game varies by region but is typically from 7 to 13 points.

Here is a video that shows and explains the rules in an easy way.

Interestingly, I learned this game from Assassin's Creed video game.
