"Throwing balls toward a target is the oldest game known to mankind...and next to soccer, the most popular game in the world." - bocce.org

The Egyptians played it 7000 years ago. Greeks and Romans played it. Great rulers like Augustus, Queen Elizabeth, and George Washington played it. Great thinkers like Galileo and Da Vinci played it. Isn't it time you learned how to play?

A welcome departure from fast paced shoot-em-ups, Backboard Bocce is a casual turn-based game that's easy to learn, fun to play, and challenging to master. It puts a modern twist on the world’s oldest sport, bringing you a portable version that can be enjoyed anywhere and anytime.

With 4 different modes of play, you can practice solo then go head-to-head against friends and family, whether they're in the same room or on the other side of the world:

1. Single Player: learn the basics and improve your shot by practicing against the robot. But beware - the robot gets harder to beat each time you win, making for some wildly addictive game play.

2. Pass-and-Play: take turns passing your device back and forth and experience the real fun of bocce as a socially competitive sport.

3. Head-to-Head: friend have their own device? Playing together in the same room allows for casual banter while you take turns tossing balls.

4. Turns with Friends: challenge a friend remotely and Apple's Game Center will send you notifications when it's your turn to play. Finish a match in real-time over the internet or take turns throughout the week to see who's got the best aim and strategy.
