Human Table Hockey

Human table hockey takes place on a huge, hockey-rink sized wooden floor with a smooth, plastic laminate surface and plexiglass walls.

Each player stands in a slot cut out for them, which has a recessed floor about 1' deep. These slots are positioned on the board just like those in real table hockey, allowing each player limited movement of travelling in the slot or spinning. The goalie stands on a pivoting board, level with the playing surface, but connected to a beam and swivel that allows him only to slide back and forth across the goal in an arc.

The puck is a hollow metal ball captive in a plastic disc shape. Behind the goal is a puck reservoir with a levered paddle in the middle for a by-stander to eject the puck after a goal.

The game is played like regular hockey, with the players moving only in their designated slots. There is no offside.

The score is kept by a large plastic cube that slides along a metal rail beside the rink. The rail is marked off in goal increments.

For the ultimate in realism, whether only two players can move at one particular time is decided before the game starts.
