So, I imagine you decide to take a play break, you and your office mates, and discover among the secret horde of play paraphernalia, a couple of ratty paddles and a few relatively unblemished ping pong balls, and say to yourself:
So, OK, self, so we don't have ping pong table, and if we did, there wouldn't be enough room for it anyhow.
So you make your own table - out of a desk. And now all you need in order to establish the legitimacy of this being a ping pong table is a net. You don't have a net. So you make one. Out of paper cups.
And when they stop laughing long enough to start playing, they discover that if they hit the cups with the ball just right they can make the cups move toward their opponent. Downside of this is that it makes it more difficult for you to hit the ball over the imaginary cup line. Upside, that it makes the way for a whole new ping pong variation. Like, just as an example, the first player to knock the majority of cups over the edge of the table on the opponent's side, uh, wins.
Am I right?
When playful people have to figure how to play a game without the 'official' equipment, the game that they create, because of the way they created it, becomes an invitation to play, playfully.
So, OK, so this Cup Pong game maybe isn't as innovative as some of the other variations on the theme of ping pong we might know, but it's got promise.
I think it's a case in point. When playful people have to figure out a way play ping pong without a net and on an office desk, the game that they create, because of the way they created it, becomes an invitation to play. To make up new rules. Variations. To see what happens when some cups are place upside-down and others downside-down. And you put water in some of them. And as many ping pong balls as you can fit into some others.

The following are some special states in the game:
•Rollback: if you can remove a cup during your turn, a 'rollback' occurs and you will be awarded an extra shot.
•Redemption: when a team has made the last cup, the game will enter the 'redemption' state. The losing team will then have the chance to make all of their remaining cups or they will lose. The following are two different scenarios during redemption:
◦If there are 2 or more cups remaining for the losing team, they can shoot until a miss occurs. If a miss occurs before they can make all the cups, the game is over.
◦If there is only 1 cup remaining for the losing team, they can take shots according to the number of shots of the winning team in the previous turn. For example, if the winning team made the last cup on their first shot during their turn, the losing team will have only 1 redemption shot; if the winning team took 2 shots to make the last cup, the losing team will have 2 redemption shots.
•Overtime: if the losing team can make their redemption shots and remove all of their remaining cups, the game will enter the 'overtime' state. During overtime, only 3 cups will be used on either side, and the same rollback and redemption rules apply.
