Families are turning their basements or family rooms into entertainment centers. When there is enough room, game tables are added for indoor fun and activity. There are a number of different types of game tables: foosball, bumper pool, air hockey, ice hockey, shuffleboard and multi game tables. You can buy ice hockey boards and other tables from online stores.
Think about your family's activities before investing in a game table. The basic game table has eight rods with a ball and handles. Serving is done from the middle and there is a goal at each end. Players use the handles to move their figures to kick the ball into the opposing team's goal.
A basic rule is that you defend to your left and move to kick to the right. Ice hockey is a favorite sport in bars as well as at home. However, game tables take up a lot of room, more than 6 feet and you need ample room for the player to use their cue stick.
Bubble hockey tables require less space and also less arm space for playing. Ice hockey tables can be found in many arcades. This game consists of a large smooth playing surface. Slots at each of the tables serve as goals.
