Abstract
A method of playing a game called lobol, and a kit to facilitate playing it. The lobol is a small, solid ball. In addition to the lobol, the game requires one or more larger balls. A third element of equipment is a goal that has an opening large enough to admit the lobol, but small enough to exclude the larger ball. The game is played by placing the lobol on a playing field between a starting point and the goal enclosure. One player is designated as the “player in possession”. That player propels one of the balls towards the lobol with the intention of moving the lobol into the goal, thereby scoring a goal. The player in possession continues throwing the ball at the lobol, until they miss. The other player then takes over as the player in possession, and they attempt to move the lobol into the goal.

- a:
- if said ball misses said lobol, designating another player as being player in possession, and repeating said step of propelling;
- b:
- if said ball hits said lobol, and said lobol enters said goal enclosure, scoring a goal to said player in possession and repeating said steps from designating a first player as being player in possession of said lobol;
- and
- c:
- if the ball hits said lobol, but said lobol does not enter said goal enclose, repeating said step of propelling.
