The Basics

The object of TapGlo’s Blackout game is simple, blackout your opponent’s squares first to win! Or, if you play Stripes, get all the stripes on your side of the table. It’s that easy!

The Details

Blackout - Player with the flashing white square serves. Bounce the ball on the flashing square then serve by hitting that side of the table first with the second bounce landing on the opponent’s side. Then it’s a race to blackout the opponent’s lit squares first!

Stripes - Players determine who serves first. The goal is to get all of the stripes on your side. See how fast you can get all the stripes!

Volley

You can volley back and forth as many times as you like. Just know that blocking shots is not allowed! You can play off of the wall, floor, you name it. When playing Blackout, if the ball has not touched the table in more than three seconds it will enter serve mode, the serve alternates sides. When playing Stripes, if the ball goes off the table, players determine who serves and then continue their volley.
