When you purchase our combo game set you receive both the classic game of Croquet (played with numbered balls instead of colored balls) and the exciting new game Field TAKTIX. The quality of our game set is much better than any department or big box store croquet set. Each set comes with what you need to play 9 wicket croquet and Field TAKTIX. Sets include 6 durable 36 inch wooden mallets with comfortable handle grips, 6 solid specially sized and designed balls, 9 strong wickets, and everything else you need to play both games including a Field TAKTIX instructional DVD.
What is Field TAKTIX? Field TAKTIX is a game of strategy involving missions of capture and rescue. Field TAKTIX is a game for 2 to 6 players, forming 2 teams. Each player becomes a General on the Battlefield. Players attempt to control the Battlefield by placing their balls in key areas. Players must formulate strategic plans, and conduct tactical missions in an effort to capture their opponent, and rescue their own balls. Players will test their mental and physical skills in an effort to out wit and maneuver their opponent on the Battlefield.
Each team starts the game with 3 Free balls. The objective of the game is to capture all 3 of your opponents balls, leaving your opponent with no Free balls on the Battlefield. When a ball is captured it is placed in prison. Teams are able to free captured balls by using the Rescue Shot. As the game continues, teams are able to earn a Bonus Peg. The Bonus Peg is used to gain bonus shots. The game is won after a team has captured all of their opponents balls. Each set contains 2 versions: An adult version for ages 10 & up, and a Junior version for ages 5-10. Field TAKTIX is a game the whole family can enjoy, both young and old.
Field TAKTIX is a challenging new game unlike any other game you have played. Start enjoying this new game and the classic game croquet with your family and friends, at picnics, barbeques, or your own backyard.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This croquet set is OK for the money. The set is made in India, and has pretty good detailing on the paint and grips. Shipment of the product was prompt and I received it within a day or two of ordering, which was very good. The mallets don't hold up to a rigorous game of backyard croquet. Perhaps if we were better players, or were playing on a better surface where one doesn't have to hit the ball as hard, they would last better. After one game almost all the mallets were chipped and dented.
