'''Gnip Gnop''' (pronounced with hard Gs) is a two-player table-top game consisting of a two-sided plastic game unit and six plastic balls. Each side has three levers in it, and between the two sides is a plastic barrier with three holes in it slightly larger than the balls. The game begins with three balls on each side. The object of the game is to press the levers to shoot the balls through the holes to the other side; the player who gets all six balls to the other side wins. The game is enclosed in clear plastic to keep the balls from flying out.
Gnip Gnop was designed and named by [[Joseph M. Burck]]<ref>US Patent 4,191,374</ref> of [[Marvin Glass and Associates]] for [[Parker Brothers]].<ref name="bb100204"/> It was originally released in 1971.<ref name="ct711130"/> [[Fundex Games]] later produced a slightly modified version of the game.<ref name="is060314"/><ref name="demfun"/>
The name is the backward spelling of "[[Ping-Pong]]", the common name for [[table tennis]].
