About the game
Bounce It! is an easy, addictive game in which push your luck meets push your skill. On your turn, you have a handful of balls that you try to bounce towards a hole in order to win the highest chip you can. Whenever a ball goes in, you may either end your turn and take the current chip, or keep playing and try to win a higher one. However, if your last ball misses, you get nothing, and the next player can try to win the chip you left behind. The first to reach 42 points wins this game of fast-paced fun. —description from the publisher
