Abstract
A balloon bounce game suitable for use indoors, includes a generally rectangular mat of flexible material for defining a playing surface, the mat having first indicia for defining a center line that divides the playing surface into two equal area play fields, and second indicia for defining score areas in each of the play fields. The mat is of such dimensions as to enable the mat to be placed on a floor indoors, and for a player located in a serve zone behind a far end of one of the play fields to hit or strike a balloon over the center line to bounce or land in a score field in the other one of the play fields. The form and positions of the indicia therefore make a vertical net unnecessary.
