My Foot" and "You Shoot Like a Little Girl".

Description from the first introduction to the game at Fastaval convention:

Croquet is an ancient, noble game where there is only room for the most filthy, sneaky, bullying and vile jerk on top of the podium. The game requires a delicate balancing act between ingenious shots of your own ball in near-impossible zigzag course towards the end pin, and absurd croqueting of your opponents' balls far of the grid. Anything goes. With victory follows the crucial bragging rights - so don't leave your balls at home!

If you like games like RoboRally, Golfmania and Family Business, then croquet - a card board game is just for you.
