What does ROQUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americanrare
A game similar to croquet, played with mallets and balls on a small, hard court enclosed by rubber-cushioned borders.
Roque developed in the United States as a more demanding, precision version of croquet, using a shorter mallet, a compact court, and borders that let players deliberately bank their ball off the edge, much like in billiards. It briefly appeared as an Olympic sport at the 1904 Games before falling out of wide popularity. Unlike lawn croquet, roque is played on a firm surface rather than grass, which changes both the pace of the game and the skills it rewards. Only a small number of dedicated clubs still maintain roque courts today.
