This Hey! Play! Tabletop Foosball Table is great for adults and kids alike; adults will enjoy playing on it long after the kids have gone to bed. Its miniature size makes it great to tuck away after game-time has ended, and it can be played one on one or in teams.

Key Features

This Hey! Play! foosball table for kids sports a French-style design. It’s made of pressed wood and comes with two balls and a scorekeeper, and you can get it in tan and green colors. Since it is a tabletop design, the game can be enjoyed outdoors and in any part of the room indoors. Plus, if you’re concerned about storage space, the tabletop design is ideal. You can leave it in the kids’ playroom or stash it under the bed.

At 12.125 (L) x 20 (W) x 3.875 (H), the Hey! Play! is a perfect size for both kids and adults to enjoy. While Hey! Play! will tell you that this foosball table is great for all ages; it comes with a manufacturer’s recommendation for ages 14 and up.

More Features

Hey! Play! built this foosball table for use by both kids and adults, and they set the size and weight with that in mind. That means a mix of easy maneuverability and sturdiness. The set will arrive at your door with everything you need to play the game in the box so you can start playing right away. Even the Allen wrench you need to finish off what’s left of the assembling is included in the box.

Verdict

The Hey! Play! Tabletop Foosball Table is beautiful and extremely durable. Customers have owned these for years and never needed to return or replace them. The best thing is that the little player figures are made of painted ABS plastic, leaving them looking new for a prolonged time.

The Sport Squad FX40 is a compact, miniature tabletop set that’s both sturdy and portable. It has two realistic-looking goal boxes and a scoreboard to keep track of the game.

Key Features

Just like the Hey! Play! Tabletop Foosball Table above, the Sport Squad FX40 comes in a tabletop model.

The FX40 is made of engineered wood and comes with two foosball balls. With dimensions measuring 40” (L) x 20” (W) x 8” (H), this is larger in size than the Hey! Play!, but it also comes in a compact design and beautiful aesthetics. You can easily bring it with you to birthday parties, tailgate events, or just for some outdoor or indoor fun.

Made with medium-density fiberboard material, the price of the FX40 is kept low without sacrificing durability. The table also comes with a manual scorer, durable plastic players, and two goal boxes with ball return trays. You wouldn’t find those in a lot of foosball tables for kids. The FX40 is built for kids and adults to enjoy together, and up to four players can play at a time.

More Features

The Sport Squad FX40 comes out of the box pre-assembled with just a few finishing touches needed. The rods are chrome-coated steel rods with rubber grooved handles, making it more fun to maneuver and execute shots. This is especially important for kids’ hands as children who are still developing coordination will need a handle with a firm, stable grip to get good at the game.

Verdict

Sport Squad is an American-based company, so this table is built to last. The FX40 comes with non-marking rubber pads to protect your property, or at least your table surfaces.

The squat legs also improve the convenience of using the table on various surfaces like lawns, sands, and hard surfaces. The table weighs 15 lbs, easy to bring with you to carnivals, office spaces, BBQ outings, etc. In all, the Sport Squad FX40 is an excellent entry-level foosball table for kids, and it comes at an affordable price.

Sling foosball reminds us all that there is always more than one way of doing something. The game works almost like a cross between foosball and air hockey. Players shoot their pucks through a slot in the middle of the board. The object is to clear all of your own pucks off the board by shooting them through the middle slot before the opposing player.

This one is as compact as compact gets, so you can still get the game board even if you already have a proper foosball table. Sling foosball is portable enough that it’s great for taking on road trips, camping, etc.

Board games often feel cerebral, but sling foosball is a board game that’s more fun than cerebral. Plus, kids build their pincer grip, motor skills, and hand-eye coordination playing sling foosball. This is a healthier alternative to screen time at home or on the road.

Key Features

Toydaze’s Sling Foosball is great for young players; kids shoot the pucks using a built-in elastic band-like shooter. The set includes the gameboard and 20 black and white pucks.

More Features

Everything seems to come in pairs with this Toydaze Sling Foosball. A spare slingshot and extra ten pucks come with the set. You can also get the set in large or small sizes, including a foldable XL double-sided design measuring 36 x 18 inches. This one is made of wood with rounded ends and weighs less than 2 pounds.

Verdict

Unlike proper foosball tables that can accommodate up to four players at a time, you can only play sling foosball one-on-one. A foldable design would’ve made for easier storage, but it’s still a relatively small design compared to its traditional foosball counterparts. However, Toydaze does offer a foldable version in the XL size. Finally, the set comes packed in a beautiful box that makes it a perfect gift item for birthdays, Christmas, etc.

The Rally and Roar has an uncanny resemblance to the Sport Squad FX40 Tabletop Foosball Table, but you can get the Rally and Roar Foosball Tabletop in blue, white, and orange/green playfield colors.

This is a fantastic tabletop foosball set that adults can play together with their kids. It’s a tabletop design that comes with removable legs, so you are not restricted to using it on a flat surface like a table. The Rally and Roar Foosball Tabletop can sit just as comfortably on the lawn or on a table with its legs detached or left on.

Key Features

What could ruin the fun of watching kids have a blast playing foosball is you being busy worrying about the consequences of all that excitement on your precious table or floor. With the Rally and Roar, though, you don’t have to worry as the legs are padded with foam to protect the playing surface from scratches, wear, and tear.

With eighteen plastic players ready for action, the Rally and Roar offer extra challenge and more fun. Up to four foosers can play the set at a time. In addition, the eighteen plastic figures come pre-installed, taking the hardest part of the assembling process out of the way.

Measuring 40” (L) x 20” (W) x 9” (H), the Rally and Roar is a compact size easily brought along to parties, camping trips, BBQ get-togethers, and so on. As long as there is a flat surface to place it on, you’re good to go. The set comes with two original foosball balls, dual scorekeepers, and return trays on both goals.

More Features

The Rally and Roar Foosball Tabletop is lightweight because of the high-quality ABS materials it is made of. At the same time, the dimensions mean it is spacious enough to allow enjoyable two-against-two gameplay.

While lightweight, the table is made of heavy-duty materials allowing it to withstand aggressive play without coming apart. Plus, the hand-painted, high-grade plastic players will look fresh in their jerseys for years.

Rally and Roar made the rods with chrome-plated steel and ergonomic rubber hand grips on their ends. The non-slip rubberized handles give the players more control while making it easier for little hands to build fine and gross motor skills.

Verdict

Another thing that can make or mar the fun of foosball is the weight of the plastic figures. Figures that are too light or too heavy can ruin the maneuverability and the fun of the game. Weighing in at 1.4 oz, installed on half-inch chrome-plated steel rods, and paired with 1.25 inch balls, the players are the right weight for enhanced maneuverability.

Plus, the Rally and Roar Foosball Tabletop is a pretty sight to behold. It is painted in a mix of blue, white, and orange to match the plastic players’ jersey color. Finally, this set is designed in the US, with a customer service team located in the country.

Game time can be family time, and the Portzon Foosball Table is a perfect playset to enjoy a healthful, family bonding playtime. This Portzon foosball set comes with eighteen plastic figures that can be controlled by up to four foosers.

The Portzon Foosball Table is recommended for ages four and up.

Key Features

The Portzon Foosball Table is made with a mix of ABS material and medium-density fiberboard (MDF), the result of which is a very durable product you can get without breaking the bank. Not only does MDF keep the price low, but medium density fiberboard is also lightweight and durable. In other words, your Portzon Foosball Table should be easy to take around and last a long time. This wooden material may not be as strong as solid or plywood, but it is odorless and hard to flex or crack.

More Features

Unlike other tabletop foosball tables we’ve reviewed so far that come partly assembled, there’s none of that for the Portzon Foosball Table. But, that’s not an oversight on the part of the manufacturer.

They designed this set with a focus on easy transport. In other words, the Portzon is designed to be easily taken apart and put back together, which is good for storage as well as for transportation. It even comes with a storage box specifically for that purpose, and the beautiful box makes it a perfect gift item for birthdays, Christmas, etc.

But if you prefer a preassembled foosball table, the Sport Squad FX40 Tabletop Foosball Table is a good choice. The FX40 is also made of engineered wood.

The Portzon is a tabletop design, so all you need is a flat surface to place it—whether indoors or outdoors—and it’s game time. It is 27.2 inches long, 14.2 inches wide, and 9.2 inches from leg to top.

Verdict

Unfortunately, the Portzon Foosball Table does not come with return trays like the Sport Squad FX40, but it does include two foosball balls, a scoreboard on both goals, and comfortable anti-slip handles with an attractive concave and convex texture design fitted on sturdy, stainless steel rods.

Although the set is delivered unassembled, it is easily put together in no time by following the instructions printed on the box. Normally, I’d prefer a standalone manual to printed-on-the-box instructions, but I think kids will misplace the manual long before you ever have to throw out this beautiful storage box.

Klask is an innovative board game that’s half foosball, half air hockey. It’s an award-winning magnetic board game that’s guaranteed to keep the players glued to their seats for hours on end. It’s a game of skill, perfect for kids and adults. Klask is not your usual foosball game, but it’s an exciting concept guaranteed to sharpen the player’s dexterity and finesse no matter how old they are.

At first glance, Klask looks like a kind of game that’ll take time to learn as there are no accessories on the board except what looks like tiny white buttons (known as biscuits in the Klask game) and a pair of what looks like miniaturized chessmen.

On the contrary, Klask is quite easy to get the hang of, which probably explains why it has sold upward of a million units since it was first introduced in 2014.

Key Features

Klask is loads of fun because it is a fast-paced game that forces you to think on your feet. Fast-paced games like Klask are good for your child’s mental development. By forcing the player to think quickly, the individual trains their mental faculties.

Klask is a simple enough magnetic board game that trains the player to make split-second decisions, and the psychological benefits of that alone are priceless. Klask is unique enough that it’s even a great buy if you already own a traditional foosball table.

Klask is not very compact, but it’s the perfect party game. The set weighs around 6 lbs, with dimensions measuring 17.7 x 13.7 x 5.7 inches. Although Klask has developed a model that up to four people can play at a time, this one is a head-to-head model that grips both the players and onlookers.

More Features

Klask’s simple design allows the manufacturer to box them fully assembled, so the great game of Klask starts right out of the box. Any flat surface will do as Klask comes in a simple wooden design that allows it to sit securely on any flat surface.

Klask released an updated version of the game back in 2019 that came with more rounded “biscuits” and PTFE stickers to reduce scratching on the surface of the board. PTFE is a waterproof, high density, high temperature-resistant material.

Although only two players at a time can play this Klask version, each match lasts around ten minutes, and you could play it tournament-style to crown the true Klask champ. If you were wondering, the word “Klask” means “slap” in Danish and this game got the name from the sound the steering magnet makes when it drops to your own goal.

Verdict

As mentioned earlier, Klask is easy to learn. With your hand under the table, you can move the magnetic handle (the miniature chessmen) to strike the biscuits and defend your half of the board. Likewise, avoid the magnetic biscuits as you try to strike the ball into your opponent’s goal to score.

Klask allows you to sharpen your reflexes, precision, and mental agility. It also allows you to join Klask tournaments held in 16 countries leading to the annual World Championships. Klask is great for the entire family but is recommended for ages eight and older because players have to have sufficient dexterity to grip and maneuver small objects like the white biscuits and magnetic handles.

The Hathaway Playoff 4-Inch Foosball Table is the first standing foosball table model on this list, and it’s just the perfect table for customers who prefer standing to tabletop foosball table designs. The Hathaway is undeniably cool. The surface comes with graphics depicting a soccer stadium filled with excited fans, but it also stands out from the crowd on several fronts.

For starters, it sports a modern aesthetic. Plus, unlike the typical sliding style scorekeepers in most mini foosball tables, the Hathaway comes equipped with an abacus-style scorer that denotes exclusivity.

Key Features

The Hathaway Playoff is made with high-quality, cost-effective materials that give it a deluxe look. Manufactured from CARB-compliant, medium density fiberboard material, the Hathaway Playoff 4-Inch Foosball Table appeals to those who care about the climate without sacrificing quality and appearance.

The choice of production materials also makes this an affordable foosball set in its class. It comes with a smooth playing surface with realistic detailing, improving the real-life experience and easy gliding of the foosball balls.

As stated earlier, it comes with a dual abacus style scorekeeper on both goals, including goal boxes with built-in automatic end ball return. Another feature that improves Hathaway’s realistic quality is that the plastic figures are made of durable ABS material, with grooved flippers for improved ball control.

More Features

Kids and adults alike will love the look and performance of the Hathaway Playoff foosball table. The high-gloss graphics won’t look out of place in your living room, and the solid construction and compact 4-foot-length size are great for kids and adults. The table weighs about 50 lbs and measures 49 x 28 x 11 inches in dimensions, while the playing surface measures 40” (L) x 22.75” (W).

Foosers will also enjoy the ergonomic handles on chrome-plated steel rods that make it easier to control and maneuver. Two realistic foosball balls are included. You will need an Allen wrench and a Philips head screwdriver to attach the legs and complete the assembling, although Hathaway includes an Allen wrench in the box.

Verdict

The Hathaway Playoff 4-Inch Foosball Table is designed and built in the US; plus, the company’s customer service team is US-based.

It would’ve been great if this standing-style foosball table could be folded down for easy storage, but its compact size and sleek finishing eliminates to a large extent the need to stash the table away when not in use. The Hathaway looks beautiful enough as a room fixture at a price that won’t put a dent in your pocket.

It also comes with padded leg levelers to improve stability, a level playing field, and adequate protection for your room floors. In all, the Hathaway is an excellent, affordable starter foosball table before you shell out on a standard wooden model.

This tabletop set from Matty’s Toy Stop includes traditional air hockey and foosball for both adults and kids to enjoy.

These two sets of neon foosball and air hockey tables come in a deluxe wooden finish, and you don’t need a dedicated game room or basement to set it up in. Plus, the neon adaptation of tabletop/air hockey tables means it will stand out from the crowd. You don’t have to stash it away when the family is done playing, as the table looks cool enough to complement your living room or any other room in your home.

Key Features

Matty’s Toy Stop Mini Tabletop Air Hockey & Foosball Table is designed with portability in mind, so each table is lightweight and easy to move around while still spacious to accommodate engaging gameplay. It is a tabletop model, so it can also be stowed out of sight when not in use. The set weighs less than 5 lbs, is 21 inches long and 12.4 inches wide.

For air hockey, you get two paddles and four pucks. The foosball version comes with twelve plastic playing figures, four foosball balls, and manual scorekeepers on both goals. Matty’s Toy Stop foosball/air hockey table set may not compare with some of the products on this list in terms of features and details, but none offers kids the choice to switch from air hockey to foosball and vice versa by simply swapping tables. Plus, this neon design puts the Matty’s Toy Stop tabletop in a class all of its own.

More Features

The product will arrive partly assembled with everything you need to complete the process, including a crosshead screwdriver, in the package. However, the three [amazon url="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7RH8D4″]AA batteries[/amazon] needed to operate the air hokey version are not included. In case you’re wondering, yes, this is actual battery-powered air hockey.

Verdict

It would’ve been perfect if players could switch from air hockey to foosball and vice versa simply by flipping the table. Not only would that have made a very cool design, but it would’ve been more economical, and families can easily bring the two-in-one set along to parties and trips.

Matty’s Toy Stop Mini Tabletop Air Hockey & Foosball Table may not be as long as Rally and Roar Foosball Tabletop to accommodate more than two players at a time, but it does not mean that adults and kids can’t play against each other.

The plastic players on Matty’s foosball table do not have the realistic detailing of the Hathaway Playoff 4-Inch Foosball Table, but they come in two colors so the players can easily differentiate between teammates. Plus, while other foosball table brands come with two foosball balls, Matty’s come with four, not counting the four hockey pucks.

If you don’t mind shelling out about two times the price of most of the foosball sets in this list, then nothing should stop you from getting this 3-in-1 sport set for kids.

The Hathaway Playmaker is in a class of its own, from the aesthetics to the detailing, the unique shape of the plastic players, and extra features. Everything about this one speaks exclusivity, but it is still not a standard foosball table, don’t forget. The field’s dimensions are 31-in L x 19-in W x 0.11-in thick, while the table measures 38-in L x 20-in W x 28-in H.

Key Features

The Hathaway Playmaker offers a multi-game table designed for soccer and hockey fans. It’s a simple concept; the foosball table comes with reversible, rip-resistant target nets for soccer and hockey practice. The design is a straightforward hook-and-loop system that makes it easy to switch games, allowing kids to alternate between foosball and actual soccer or hockey.

This concept comes with a promise of non-stop entertainment. Considering that up to four players can play at one time, the foosball competition can go on while other players enjoy hockey or soccer target practice using the nets on the side of the table. The package includes two soccer-style foosball balls, a 4-in diameter soft rubber soccer ball, a hockey ball, and two kid-sized hockey sticks.

More Features

What we like the most about the Hathaway Playmaker is not the multi-game design but the fact that the manufacturer did not sacrifice quality for the multi-game concept. Balls roll cleanly and quickly over the poly-sealed, scratch-resistant field. It also comes with chrome-plated steel rods that can withstand aggressive play, while the leg levelers with a padded base improve the stability of the table and protect the floor from scratches.

The field is painted green to mirror real-world soccer fields, and there are none of the half-baked attempts to make the plastic players appear realistic. Both sides of the goal come with return trays and Hathaway’s unique manual scorekeepers. However, the thrilling graphics on the sides of the table reminds everyone that it’s a fun time.

Verdict

The Hathaway Playmaker 3-In-1 Foosball Table is a fantastic standing foosball table for the whole family. It is made of high-quality materials to anticipate excited kids yanking the chrome-plated steel rods and shooting soccer and hockey balls into the target nets.

The ergonomic, anti-slip handles ensure game time is frustration-free, even for beginners. Hathaway is an American-made product that can be trusted for superior quality. This product costs more than the average foosball table, but it also offers multiple ways to play.

Everyone wants to get the best bang for their money, and that’s not a bad thing at all. If you’re looking for a fine-looking foosball table with legs that can give you the best bang for your buck, look no further than this Homeware Giant 27-Inch Foosball Table. It is not the sturdiest or highest quality foosball table, but it is an excellent entry-level foosball table for kids, and you won’t feel a pinch for the price you pay for it.

If you expect your kids to play very aggressively, you probably should consider other options like the Hathaway Playoff 4-Inch Foosball Table. The manufacturer recommends the Homeware Giant 27-Inch Foosball Table for ages six and older. But with dimensions measuring 25 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 27 inches tall, the set is perfect for small children as taller kids might need to sit on a chair to play comfortably.

Key Features

As previously mentioned, this table set is not meant for aggressive play, although it weighs about 10 lbs. It doesn’t have eye-catching graphics on the playing surface as with the neon air hockey/foosball version, but it does come with grip-friendly handles.

This is a wooden foosball table with a beautiful finish and eighteen brightly colored, well-detailed playing figures ready to engage up to four foosers at a time. That’s two players more than you can get with Matty’s Toy Stop Mini Tabletop Air Hockey & Foosball Table.

More Features

The Homeware Giant 27-Inch Foosball Table is not preassembled, so you’ll have to do it yourself. The upside is that you can always dismantle and reattach the set whenever you need to, and you can also leave out the legs in the process when you want to use it in tabletop setup.

Verdict

The Homeware Giant 27-Inch Foosball Table is not ideal for aggressive use, and older kids might need to sit on a chair to play comfortably. But it has everything kids need to have a foosball blast, including manual scorers on both goals, and the set looks beautiful to match.
