Set the 2 desks opposite of each other about 1.5 meters apart. You are not required to sit in the chair.
A person serves the
ball . The ball must bounce on both his own desk and the opponents desk. The receiver must catch the ball. If he catches the ball, he will serve it back in the same manner. It will go back and forth like this. If the person who first served the ball messes up, then the opponent will have control of the ball. If the opponent messes up, then the server gets 1 point and serves again.A regular game is usually about first to 10 points, but people play with whatever
point system is convenient.
