Abstract
An indoor game comparable in objective to the sport of soccer. A ball or other playing piece is propelled by air streams discharged from opposed nozzles horizontally from above each goal, the latter being in the form of a recess on a game table top. The nozzles are swiveled so that each air stream may be played horizontally across the entire top surface of the table. A plurality of freely rotatable vertical baffles is disposed on the upper surface of the table top to provide air-spinnable ball obstacles, comparable to real life soccer players, that, on occasion, trap the playing piece and thereafter fling the piece across the table top in a semi-predictable, semi-random course.
