Table Football

Table football or, alternatively, foosball, is a table-top game that is based on Football (soccer), and is played by two or four players.

Air Hockey

Air hockey requires an air hockey table, two mallets, and a puck. A typical air hockey table consists of a large smooth playing surface, a surrounding rail to prevent the puck and mallets from leaving the table, and slots in the rail at either end of the table that serve as goals. On the ends of the table behind and below the goals, there is usually a puck return. Read more on the history of Air Hockey, the rules, or see if there are air hockey tables to buy.
