The barrel game, also known as the frog game, is a traditional game of skill.
This game, also known as the "frog game," is one of the oldest games in existence. A game of skill and relaxation, it was played by armed troops in Antiquity. It has always been a source of pleasure for warriors during their rest periods. Played in ancient Greece under the name "pot-breaking," it was played with amphorae into which flat stones were thrown. The frog game is a puck game played in many European countries.
It has been listed in the inventory of French intangible cultural heritage since 2012.
This game was first played in the 18th century in Parisian taverns, then spread throughout France. Today, it is played mainly in northern France, particularly in traditional pubs and cafés. It is played with a box that has holes in the top, the central hole being shaped like a frog with its mouth open. This game is also called "the barrel game" because of the type of box used.
