The game of Roman Ball is played on a court. The court has two circles, one in the middle of the other.

Five players stand spread out around the bigger of the two circles. The player with the ball bounces it in the inner circle so that it bounces out of the larger circle.

If the ball is caught by another player there is no point awarded to the thrower. The player who catches the ball then goes into the middle.

If no one catches the ball, the ball thrower receives l point and stays in the middle to throw again.

The first person to reach seven points wins the game.

You may run around the circle in order to catch the ball.
