My family have for many years been big players of both traditional boules and horse shoes, and many a family occasion has been spent competing for a winner. Now my parents have sets of both games which have been in the family for years, and being that my partner and I were hosting a barbeque last summer we decided to buy a cheap version ...

Over the years we have accumulated loads of Mookie toys. I find them to be really good value for what you get compared to other brands of toys that can be really expensive and not very good quality. I bought the boules set thinking it would be a good game that we could play as a whole family. Unfortunately it didn't really hold the ... Read the complete review

Boules is one of those games that you ever get to see played, or for that fact have the urge to play it, and the fact that we were holidaying in the Vendee this year on a campsite meant that we wanted to take a set away with us as it was a driving holiday and we had plenty of room in the boot as the campsites was one of those where you ...

This is another one of those fun classic family type games that can remain buried in the back of the shed for ages, suddenly be 're-discovered' during a clean-out, and then become very competitive again for the family. And so it was with this Mookie Boules set and my family. Many years ago, we used to have our own cheap ... Read the complete review

In theory, boules is boules right? Well, you'd think so, and I've played with a number of boules sets over the years, living by the beach. Surprisingly, you get to know whether one set is better than another, and a lot of it does have relevance with the design and often the price. Mookie's range of toys have impressed me, though, and ... Read the complete review

Our recent camping holiday in Carnac saw us going away with two other families who have children between the ages of 4 and 9 so we decided to take some outdoor games with us in the vague hope that we would see some good weather, something we were pleasantly surprised to get as well. We decided that as it was France we were heading off to ... Read the complete review

I distinctly remember this game which me and my sister were given in our little years. I'm not sure where my mum bought them, but I think it will have probably from our local garden centre as they sell quite a lot of games/toys for the garden. The set consists of 8 balls, each filled with water so they are weighed down. You ... Read the complete review

We have a set of these boules which we bought a couple of years ago. They are made of plastic but they are quite heavy and feel like they are well made. They come in a black plastic case which is really handy to store them in so they don't roll about all over the place. You get 8 boules in the set, two of each colour, ... Read the complete review

When it comes to games you can play in the garden there are few games more well known that boules. This simple game has been around for many years and is one the pretty much anyone can play. When I was a kid I had a set of these boules and I recently got myself another set. I can't be sure if the set I had when I was a kid was a ... Read the complete review

My Auntie and Uncle quite recently brought a present for my 8 year old son. They brought him a Mookie Boules Set. I have to say that I felt a little sense of nostalgia when I saw what he had been brought as I had an almost identical game myself when I was younger, though I have no idea if mine was a Mookie one or not. ...

I recently bought this Mookies Boules set for my younger relatives to play with in the garden when they come to visit over the Summer as a suggestion from a friend who had told me that Boules were actually really good fun. I'd never played Boules myself so I wasn't sure of their appeal, but on discovering that they would only cost me £8 ... Read the complete review

Now being an older person, I don't have much truck with anything new fangled. After all, I have a stereotype to live up to. So, not for me these complicated computer games - I'd rather have some good old-fashioned outdoor fun. We have had a set of these boules in our garage for as long as I can remember. In fact, we have two ... Read the complete review

Background --------------- Many family holidays are spent on the beach with the young children shouting at the parents to play some fast paced game that the parents can't possibly keep up with! I know that's how my childhood holidays were spent. However, there are some exceptions to the rule, and some games which can be ... Read the complete review
