Rainy days can ruin your outdoor plans—but they don’t have to ruin the fun. Enter Flabocce: the ultimate indoor game for grown-ups who still love a little competition, creativity, and laughter. Equal parts strategic and silly, Flabocce brings the energy of yard games into your living room, making it one of the best rainy day games for adults. Here’s why it’s your go-to MVP when the forecast turns gray.
How Do You Play Flabocce?
Flabocce is a strategic throwing game where players compete to land their Flabs—soft, hexagonal discs—closest to the Jack, a white target flab. Unlike traditional bocce, Flabocce adds a twist with multi-planar play, overlap-based scoring, and instant win conditions. Here’s how it works:
1. Place the Jack – The starting player places the Jack anywhere: on the floor, across furniture, on a table—anywhere within reason. The Jack sets the target and defines the scoring plane.
2. Throw Your Flabs – Each player or team takes turns throwing their four Flabs from behind the starting line, aiming to land closest to the Jack. You can float it, fling it, flop it—whatever gets you there.
3. Score Points – Points are awarded based on proximity to the Jack and which zones of the Jack your Flabs cover. Overlapping an opponent’s Flab cancels it out.
4. Instant Win – Flabocce! – Completely cover the Jack with a single Flab and you win instantly—no matter the score. It’s the ultimate comeback shot - and hard to nail!
Why Flabocce Is Perfect for Indoors
Not all games are indoor-friendly (try explaining a shattered lamp to your in-laws), but Flabocce was practically made for rainy-day living room tournaments. Here’s why:
• Soft, Safe Materials – Flabs are made from soft, grippy TPV. They won’t scratch wood floors, dent drywall, or scuff up furniture. They’re lightweight but built to fly, bounce, and land with finesse—not destruction.
• Obstacles Make It Better – Tables, chairs, couch legs, and random clutter? In Flabocce, those aren’t hazards—they’re features. Every object in the play zone becomes a potential barrier, bank shot, or bounce-back opportunity.
• Play While Sitting on the Couch – Seriously. You can throw from the couch, and the best part? The non scoring player (read: loser) of each frame has to clean up! So th better you play, the longer you chill.
The Social Side of Flabocce
Rainy-day gatherings can get stale fast, but Flabocce brings people together. It’s accessible for all ages and skill levels—no athleticism required, just aim and imagination.
Want to spice things up? Add house rules like:
• Number of points scored = number of drinks handed out.
• Nix someone’s flab? They drink. Nix your own? You drink.
• Land a perfect Flabocce? Opponents buy dinner.
It’s casual, competitive, and endlessly entertaining.
No Sunshine? No Problem.
Flabocce is more than a game—it’s a rainy-day rescue plan. Fast to set up, fun to master, and perfect for playing inside without sacrificing fun (or your security deposit), it guarantees laughs and unexpected hero moments. So when the weather turns gray, grab your Flabs, rally your crew, and let the games begin.
Rain can’t cancel fun—not when Flabocce’s in the house.
