This game is for one to as many people want to play. As described in the rules there are 2 CUPONK (Ping Pong with graphics) balls and a 30 Card "Trick Deck" that the player draws from, it illustrates a specific trick to attempt and the number of tries to complete it.

If the player completes the trick in the amount of tries given they collect the card and the next player draws a new trick. If the player fails to complete the trick in the number of tries, then the next player attempts the same trick. Follow the same rules for completing the trick. If all players fail, then discard the trick and move on to the next trick card, it would now be the original first player's turn again.

You can play until any preset goal you want, first to three tricks, five tricks, or until the deck is gone and count up the totals. The game even recommends combining 2 or more trick cards into "Expert" tricks.

Each of the three versions has their own trick deck, so if you purchased all three you can combine them into one 90 card deck. Also included are blank cards for making up your own.
It's actually way more fun than you would think, and the cup lights up and makes sound effects unique to the version you purchased. The cards are really just stepping stones to making your own even more elaborate tricks.
