Try out these mods on the rules to have some fun:
Deuces - players only get two touches per possession.
Pirates booty - All players must jump up and down on one leg for the duration of the point.
Yahtzee - one player starts the point holding an extra ball. This player must hold on to this ball throughout the point until he or she yells Yahtzee! At this point the extra ball becomes the active ball for the point. The “original” ball can be completely ignored. Immediately after Yahtzee is called the player must pass the new ball to his partner, this pass counts as the team’s first touch of the possession.
Sassy - players can only use the back of their hands to strike the ball.
Try hards - players can only use closed fists to hit the ball.
Ditto - your opponents must hit with the same hands that you hit the ball with in the same order (right, left, left).
Birds of a feather - all sets must be (roughly) above 15 ft in the air.
The real deal - both teams must use at least one foot touch before finishing a point.
