BocceRoll brings a fresh twist to traditional outdoor games. Players roll balls down a ramp toward scoring targets and a pallina, taking turns to land balls in marked zones or closer to the pallina than their opponent. The first player or team to reach 21 points wins. Designed for 2–4 players (or even solo), BocceRoll is simple, fun, and portable, making it perfect for any outdoor gathering.
The founding team combines expertise in engineering, business management, and industrial design, including Claude Drehfal’s background in engineering education. The game’s engaging mechanics and easy setup have made it a hit among players of all ages.

About BocceRoll
BocceRoll was created by a team of four co‑founders from Wisconsin who share a passion for innovation and outdoor fun. The idea began during a televised competition called Make48, where they were challenged to invent a new yard game in just 48 hours.
Their design won first place and sparked the creation of BocceRoll, a game that blends elements of bocce and other classic yard games into a fun, easy‑to‑play outdoor activity. The team then secured a patent, trademark, and Kickstarter funding, making BocceRoll one of the most funded yard game projects in Kickstarter history.
Today, the founders work with partners to manufacture and refine the game, which is designed to be portable, easy to store, and enjoyable for players of all ages. BocceRoll was even featured on the Tamron Hall Show as a summer favourite.
