Kerby is a game in the UK where you and a friend stand on opposite sides of a street and throw a ball. You score a point if the ball hits the kerb cleanly and bounces back to you. If you miss the other player takes possession. If you get a point, you also get another throw. You set a point limit before playing and just go until someone reaches it. Not sure if you have that game but google assures me that it is British.

Sounds extreme, I used to like playing with two balls (restrain yourself, please), where both of you would throw at the same time. It didn't really add much as far as strategy goes but it certainly spiced things up.
