Classics That Never Go Out of Style: The Foosball Table

January 23, 2012 by Marie Gizelle 21 Comments

Classics That Never Go Out of Style

While technology has given us some amazing games there is nothing like some of the old standbys. Foosball tables have not lost their popularity among young and old. There a lot of great reasons to invest in foosball tables. They allow kids and adults to spend some  time actually physically doing something together. This is a great compromise to video games and offers some very basic playing skills that everyone should know. You can really get a nice competition going with these classic games.

 

Foosball tables are small enough that they can fit in most game rooms without trouble and even in some other areas of the house. Leaving a little room to move freely is always a great idea to improve your playing power. There are some great modern foosball tables that will help you keep score and make it easy to introduce the game to all of your family members, even those who are completely hooked on the latest video game. This type of game play and interaction is something that is hard to resist no matter what your age is.

For anyone who thinks the foosball tables are unattractive by nature and can’t see fitting one into their home with flare, you clearly haven’t seen the latest models. There are some very classy foosball tables that are over the top with hand made wood décor much like that which you would find on a pool table. These tables will fit into any style home and provide hours of great play time for the entire family. Game night at home is something every family that wants to improve communication should implement. Getting up and getting moving even when you are in the house is vital to good health and moving around while playing a game of foosball is a classic way to do this.

    Nice article. Would you be interested in writing a guest post for my other blog : http://mywackylifeover40.com/. I think readers would be interested in your ideas for techie kids as many of them are still techies themselves and want to buy gifts for their kids or grandkids. Thanks.

    I love foosbal. It’s a great game to play with your family and friends. As far as them being unattractive, it’s really just a matter of finding one that works well with your room’s layout and design. We have oak hardwood floors and dark colored furniture, so we just found a nice table that matches. It looks great and if anything makes your home look more inviting. When friends or family come by, they always want to play a game.

      It’s a great game for visitors to play…some visitors won’t enjoy playing wii games but I bet they’d enjoy traditional games like chess or foosball.

    I think this is not just for kids but also a good relaxation for the adults and a nice bonding moment for parent and child.

    I’ve never played foosball! I’ve seen it on American TV shows and movies, but I haven’t seen one in real life. I’ve always wondered how it is played.

    But, yes, I agree. We should all spend some time bonding with family or friends offline ’cause nothing really beats the amount of fun you’d get from it. 🙂

    I’ve never actually tried one but my son would surely love one in our house. He’s always bored so this would definitely be a great help 🙂
