But, if your single ball remains in the cup, then you must remove one of your cups and everyone else gets to put one back in. Or, someone else can try to save you! If your ball lands in a black cup, you do the same thing and cancel out the shot by making in another shot. So, if a player shoots a ball into your cup, you can cancel out that shot by trying to make it in your cup. Any cup with an odd number of balls are removed from the board, any cups with an even number of balls remain on the board, and any cups with no balls remain on the board. The goal is to eliminate other players’ cups from the board-while saving your own. The zone is the area behind your cups.Įach round takes place when everyone gets a chance to shoot a ping pong ball twice. After all eight balls are thrown, the round is over. The rules are easy: You must shoot the ball in your zone, and the ball must always bounce once in your zone. Two to four players can play the standard game, but the more the merrier (and instructions offer six game variations for the potential to play a different game every time). In the standard four player game, each person chooses a color to stand behind.

The cups are tiered so they’re not all on the same level. Each corner of the game has six colored cups, with a black cup in the middle. Set up happens in a snap-literally-as you just have to interlock the four game trays into a grid.

This fast-paced game takes some skill and strategy, but also mostly luck. We made alliances, decided on hard decisions to save ourselves, and totally tried to take each other down. Looks like a sweet, innocent game, right? Wrong! The Toy Insider team always takes games to the next level, and guys-this game gets INTENSE. The objective is simple: Be the last player with cups on the board to win the game. But like all things, there is more than meets the eye, and a standard rule I have is, “never judge a toy by its cover.” My first impression of this game was that it is a kid version of the classic adult party game, beer pong (ha). If you’re looking for a fun party game to add to game night, look no further than Pling Pong, from Buffalo Games.
