ABSTRACT:
A playing court and a method of using this court to play a game similar to racquetball wherein the playing court has two walls which are alternately used as service walls. The two service walls differ in shape or orientation to provide additional variables for a racquetball-type game. A unique court is described wherein the court is formed in the shape of a truncated pentagonal dodecahedron wherein the first service wall is a modified pentagon having a vertex pointing directly upwardly and a bottom edge joining the floor of the playing court and the second service wall is a regular pentagon having its lowest vertex touching the floor of the playing court and its uppermost edge parallel to the plane of the floor. Unique rules of this game are disclosed along with means to provide additional chance factors using a unique pentagonal dodecahedron die to determine specific parameters of play.
