As a beginning player, I was initially excited to buy this set. It fulfills the basic function, but if you start loving this game (which I did) you will want to upgrade very quickly. First, there are three patterns, two boules for each pattern. Typically, one-on-one play requires three balls. So with this set, you don't have what you need to play one-on-one. I recognized this early and just ordered two sets from the get go so that I could play one-on-one and with three total teams of two players each (two boules each player). That's really what you need to be flexible. Otherwise people end up standing around not participating.Remember: these aren't stainless steel. Rust will come eventually. You can spray WD40 on them when you store them, or put some talcum powder one them, but eventually, they are going to rust. I realized very quickly that I needed stainless steel boules, and then looked at the brand "Obut" which is heaven for boules.The cochonet is a little hard to see in the grass as well. Wish it were bright red.Overall, if you get two sets, you'll have what you need and can have fun with these, but you'll need something better soon. And if you are just looking for a set for yourself (three boules) to meet up with other players, this is not what you want. Get a stainless steel set from Obut that will last many many lifetimes.Update: I now use these to aim at when I'm practicing. My stainless steel Obut boules dent these every time they hit them, as where my Obut boules show very little wear. I mention Obut because they are easy to buy in the US, but there are other amazing brands as well (KTK, MS Petanque, La Boule Bleue, etc).

3 pairs (of 2) and not 2 triplets (of 3)

I received this really nice set today. I want to learn the game. I don't know what the difference between these balls and $70-90 balls.

These are awesome. High quality, shiny steel with a very nice heft. The carrying case is nice too. I've used them camping and kept adults entertained and laughing and getting to know each other for hours with these things. We made teams and after everyone's first tosses, used a coin to mark the spots so the next team could use them, thusly engaging a lot more people into the game. The game went from campsite to grass to gravel to bushes, etc, and was great fun for hours. I bought them to recreate the fun I'd had when I was similarly engaged with someone else's set, years ago, on a multi-family camping trip, and I am SO glad I did!
