Bounce off is kind of like Beer Pong meets Connect Four. You are bouncing ping pong balls into a grid trying to make a pattern. There are nine different pattern cards with varying levels of difficulty. This is a really simple concept but works well for what it’s trying to do. The cards give it a bit of variety and makes it more fun than just trying to get four in a row. You are going to want a good amount of room, you’ll need some space to bounce the ball. This is a party game and good for all ages, it feels like a good game to get energy up and is quick to play. It’s definitely one where you can tell by the box if this is good fit for you.

Bounce Off is published by Mattel and is for 2 to 4 players aged 7 and up. It should take about 15 minutes to play.

Set Up

Place the Tray on the table. Players take the balls of one colour and put them in the ball holder. This game can be played with two individual players or in two teams of two.

How to Play

Draw a card for everyone to see. Each card has a different pattern. Take turns bouncing the balls into the tray trying to match the card pattern. If you run out of balls, take one back from the tray and keep going. Once you’ve matched the pattern grab the card. That is worth a point. Start the process over.

First person or team with 3 cards wins.

There are a few other variations on how to play, really this game can be what you want it to be. It’s simple, it’s fun and a good addition to a party.
