Playing Bounce-Off Pop-Out

You will play Bounce-Off Pop-Out over a number of rounds.

Each round begins with a card being drawn. The players will look at the card to see what challenge needs to be completed. Pictured on the card is a pattern on a tray. To complete the challenge the player(s) have to replicate the pattern on the tray by bouncing balls and having them land in the corresponding spots in the tray. Once the card has been studied, the timer is started.

The current player(s) will then start bouncing balls hoping that they land in the correct spaces in the tray. When bouncing balls you should follow a couple rules:

First the ball needs to bounce at least once on the table before in lands inside the tray.

If a ball does not land in the tray or in lands in a space that doesn’t match the pattern on the current card, you can take the ball and bounce it again.

A ball missing the grid
The yellow ball did not fall into the tray after it was bounced. The player can pick it up and bounce it again.
Ball bounces into the wrong spot
The player bounced this yellow ball into the tray. The ball landed in a incorrect spot though. Therefore they can remove it from the gameboard.

The player(s) will keep bouncing balls until they either complete the challenge or they run out of time. If they complete the challenge card in time they will keep it as it will score one point. If they fail to complete the challenge, the card is set aside as the player(s) didn’t score a point.

You will then play another round.

Competitive Mode

In the competitive mode the players will divide into teams. If there are only two players, each player is their own team.

For this mode you will use the blue challenge cards.

Each player/team takes all of the balls of one color. The players/teams will take turns playing a round by themselves.
