Gumball Foosball

The TV series Friends has forever changed the way that people look at foosball. It used to be really famous way back when but then the excitement petered off after a while. However, Chandler and Joey made it cool to enjoy foosball yet again. What if I told you that you can actually get a Foosball table with Gumball? Wouldn’t that be double the fun – especially those who love their sweets? The Gumball Foosball Table is an entirely new twist on the foosball revolution.

Of course, don’t expect to play a challenging game of foosball on this set because at 45”L X 29”W X 42 1/2”H, it is a tad smaller than other sets you find on the market. What makes up for the size though is that you can choose up to 1,700 gumballs of different varieties and flavours. Your kids will absolutely love you if you choose to purchase this for them.

If you are worried that they will be more absorbed with eating the gumballs than actually playing, the Gumball Foosball Table does come with a glass covering to prevent that from happening. You can purchase the Gumball Foosball Table at $1500 – well worth the price in terms of the entertainment and happiness it will bring to you.

I personally think that Foosball has never been as exciting or interesting as with the Gumball Foosball Table. Your kids – and the adults who have a sweet tooth – will be fighting to score goals on this set just to get gumballs galore!

8 Foot Tavern Bowling Game

You know what is amazing in this world of ours? We can get beautifully crafted miniature games of real sports which we can enjoy in the comfort of our own home. Forget about games like foosball which are so yesterday. The in thing to enjoy now would be a game of bowling – right smack in the living room. If you think I am going balmy, have a look at this. The 8 Foot Tavern Bowling Game is exactly like that it says. It is fully automated and gives you the ultimate sensation of playing bowling in your house without the hassle of finding the right size shoes, which is a huge blessing in my book!

The rules are of course similar to regular bowling. All you need to do is push the steel puck down the lane and strike as many of the pins as possible. It is really miniature size. The fun is also in using the right amount of strength to get all ½ inch pins at one go. What I love about the 8 Foot Tavern Bowling Game though is the fact that it has internal mechanisms that automatically moves the pins once you have struck them down. How is that for an exact imitation of what goes on in bowling alleys around the world?

There are two speakers attached to this bowling game – one is 30 watt and the other 100 watts which is perfect for the commentary which goes on throughout the whole game. You also have a 27 inch LCD screen display which shows you just where you stand where scores are concerned. At $6000 a piece, it might not be within everyone’s budget. However, it still is an awesome way to spend a weekend with the family.
