I'd get the one with less parts for my "drunk friends" (i.e. Me) to frick up. Foosball and ping pong--wipe up the beer. Air hockey--too many fans and moving parts.

Carpet ball table

You can build one much cheaper than buying a foosball or air hockey table. More fun to play too IMO

We have had a ping pong table and a Foosball table in the office break area.
Foosball is definitely better of the two. 4 can play and make it more social. Both games are hard to play with inexperienced others, but at least with Foosball you can mix teams. 4 player ping pong sucks.

The advantage of foosball is you can have people team up and control individual rods while you can't have more than two people play on a traditional air hockey table at a time.

Air hockey is a blast, provided the table offers good airflow.

I could play the one at barcadia for hours.

foosball is way better but you have to be skilled or you will get creamed by anyone with just a slight amount of experience.

air hockey I would imagine is much simpler.

Keep an eye on craigslist. I just picked a nice tornado foosball table for my aunt for like 275. Dont buy any other table besides a tornado.

I just googled it. Chexx Bubble Hockey. You can get USA vs Canada or USSR for $2500. You can also get customized NHL matchups for $3000.

Penguins vs. Nordiques would be cool.

Fwiw, my three kids play on their foosball table at least weekly. Their air hockey table is now being used as a table in the greenhouse. If we had the space, I'd opt for a pool table. But those require a minimum of like 12'x16' of open area.

I would want the USA vs USSR coin-op one I used to play in the arcades in the 80's.

I dropped many a quarter in one when I was a kid. Cool, I live in Abita, will have to check out McCain's.

Got a air hockey table set up for the grandson. Gave it to him last Christmas. He plays it a lot. Once he get bigger, a foosball will be in order.

Fooseball, drunk people will just break shite hitting the puck on an air hockey table

If you get an air hockey table go all out though and get the real deal. There’s nothing worse than a cheap air hockey table
