One court. One angle. One more return.

Two paddles, one ball, zero excuses. Fifty years on, nobody has improved on the duel.

Defend the left edge. Pretty simple, right? Play against the computer or find a live game.

Here's how scoring works in solo: every return you make is worth 5 points, every goal 100, and taking the match — first to 7 — banks a 500 point bonus. Then it compounds: win again and your next run banks at a streak multiplier, up to x3, stacking match after match until you finally lose. The leaderboard is a record of who kept their nerve the longest.

And the right paddle doesn't have to be the house. Challenge a friend to a live match, or find a match against anyone waiting — no account needed. First to 7, and if the clock catches you tied, sudden death settles it.
