Real foosball takes way more skill than Air Hockey


Coworker did world championships last year in Germany. Have learned more about foosball than I ever thought I would. Different kinds tables and rules. The amount of training and video review. Really opened my eyes what it takes to be on that level.

Foos. Less risk of a puck flying off the table.

Both are fun though. I had a Foosball table but after the first month it really didn't get played much.

We had a little video poker machine like this when I was growing up. People paid for a ton of snowballs when I was a kid.

USA men just won world cup in Spain. Women too. Some individual titles as well. Had some Acadiana area players on the team. It's a great sport.

We have air hockey and the kids love it. Costco has this one for $299 over Christmas but it’s worth every penny at $399

I never got into air hockey, but any or all of the other three would be nice to have.

If space isn't an issue and I had to pick just one:

1. Ping pong table
2. Pool table
3. Table shuffleboard
4. Foosball
5. Air hockey

ETA: and air hockey is a distant 5th. I just don't think it is that fun after a couple plays.

Pool or Ping pong table.
Obviously, pool table is going to cost you way more but you can get a ping pong table for relatively cheap. Plus, pool and PP actually take skill.

Agreed with the comment for foosball but that it has to be a Tornado. I grew up in Lafayette and played a lot during high school and college. Got to the point of being decent although nowhere near the level of the best Laffy players (I think some of them are considered 'pro').

Foosball is the only 'bar game' that can give that immense adrenaline rush when you are playing against friends of similar ability with everyone talking smack - 'tinny tin tin' with those shots that make the loud noise.

This. The rest you need breaks in the action to drink while playing. Shuffleboard you can sling pucks with one hand and drink with the other all with a few bucks on the line each game.
