I’m sure many of us have seen what game tables look like. The game room in my last employment place has a pool table, table tennis and foosball. Of course being a workaholic employee I hardly spend my time at the game room (just kidding!), not really that I’m not interested to join the game but usually the room was always conquered by another bunch of male workers whom I didn’t really know.
The first time I get to know about foosball was when I watched Friends. Remember how Joey and Chandler love to spend hours on their foosball match. Like any other games, this kind of sporting event is really cool when you have a great partner for the match. You can spend hours trying to beat each other and yet finish the game with such satisfying glory.
If you never know about the history of foosball, it was brought to America by a soldier, Lawrence Patterson who was stationed in Germany. The name foosball was derived from the spelling of Fußball (the German word for football).
Foosball can be played by two persons or 4. Although personally I think game that is played by two persons will be more challenging because the player needs to use both hands to control all four rows of foosmen simultaneously.
If you feel like practicing it at home, check out the range of foosball tables that are available in the market. You can find something as low as $300 or the one suitable for tournament for $1000 and above.
Apart from those game tables mentioned earlier, I am yet to see any of the air hockey tables in real life. Perhaps this $119 Carrom Air Table Hockey will be sufficient to introduce the game to children or for those sporty male workers to try it in the office game room.
