useless Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Jeux De La Grenouille - The player stands about 3 meters from the support and tries to get the maximum points by throwing between 5 and 10 cast iron pucks. The hole earning the most points is the frog, as a general rule 2000 points - I first saw this in the 1981 movie Merry-Go-Round and was interested what it was, here is a clip of Maria-Hélène Schneider giving it a go if you fancy a glance.
