Air hockey tables are a popular gaming table that have taken the jump from the arcades to the recreation room in the past few years. Air hockey is played with two disc-like paddles and a thin plastic disc. Tiny pin holes in the table surface allow for generated air to flow, floating the disc slightly to allow for extreme speed. Air hockey is a game that tests reaction time and aim!
Other popular table hockey games include the classic dome hockey that is very similar to foosball. Players use poles to control individual hockey players to a loose puck that flies all over inside the dome. Scoring is usually tracked on an LCD screen hanging above the "rink" that is modeled after real arena sports score boards. Other popular manufacturers include Brunswick and Halex.
