How to play

  1. 1

    Blow up a balloon for each player and tie it to their ankle.

  2. 2

    Everyone tries to pop other balloons while protecting their own.

  3. 3

    If yours pops, you're out and you cheer from the side.

  4. 4

    Last balloon standing wins.

How it's scored

One point for the win. Three short rounds beat one long one.

What you need

A balloon and a length of string per player.

A taste of the cards

  • Left foot only
  • Everyone hops for the first minute
  • Two teams, last team with a balloon wins

3 cards in the deck — PlayMe deals them out as you play.

Tips for the host

  • • Socks or bare feet only — shoes make this too rough.
  • • Clear the corners before you start.

Everyone in? Let's play.

You'll get the rules, the cards, a timer and a scoreboard — no account needed.
