Trucco information


Two gentlemen play trucco while an elegant company dines in a gazebo. English, early 17th century.

Trucco (also called trucks,[1] troco,[2] or lawn billiards) is an Italian and later English lawn game, a form of ground billiards played with heavy balls,[1] large-headed cues sometimes called tacks, a ring (also called the argolis or port), and sometimes an upright pin (the sprigg or king).[1] The game was popular from at least the 17th century[1] to the early 20th century, and was a forerunner of croquet,[3][4] surviving for a few generations after the introduction of the latter.
