Pétanque League (11)
The game of pétanque is a boules sport generally played outdoors on a flat surface such as gravel or sand. Players use metal boules, usually steel, weighing between 650 and 800 grams. The aim of the game is to place the balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a "cochonnet" or "bouchon".
The game is played in several stages:
A player throws the jack at a set distance, usually between 6 and 10 meters.
Players or teams then throw their balls, trying to place them as close as possible to the jack.
The player or team whose ball is closest to the jack scores points. They can also score extra points for each additional ball that is closer to the jack than the closest opponent's balls.
The round ends when all the balls have been thrown.
The points are counted and the next round begins again.
Play continues until a player or team reaches a certain number of points set at the start of the game, usually 13 or 15. The game of pétanque requires both precision and strategy, as well as a good sense of balance and coordination. It's often played in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere, but can also be highly competitive at professional level.

Card Games ''500'' (8)
The rules of the game: 500 is a game of trump tricks played with 4 players in two teams of 2. The partners sit opposite each other. A 43-card deck is used (a 52-card deck, plus a joker, from which the black 2s, 3s and two 4s are removed).
The order of the cards in trump is as follows:
Joker
Jack of Trump, called Right Bower
Jack of the suit close to the trump suit (example: Clubs if the trump is Spades), called Left Bower
Trumps: Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.
Other cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack (if not Left Bower), 10, 9
Without trump, the joker is considered a trump, and wins the trick where it is played, no matter what
