Birkball is for older children, teens, and adults who enjoy having fun
with other people. It combines, and goes beyond, many of the good qualities of billiards, pinball, and
table soccer. It's a great game for connecting with friends, taking a break during the workday, or for
parties at home! Two, three, or four people can play simultaneously.
There are two teams, one at each end of the table. Play consists of taking steel
balls from anywhere on the table and rolling them down
steerable chutes across a field into target balls to knock those target balls
into the other team's goal, behind the raised barriers. A point is scored
when a target ball touches the wall behind the goal area. Goalies
relaunch scored target balls in their goal area resulting in continuous play.
Benefits:
- Really Great Fun (Totally Engaging!)
- Social (Not isolating; improves teamwork)
- Exercise
- Winning/Competing
- Learn Quickly (Simple Rules)
- Continuous Action (No waiting for balls to stop, creating a faster pace)
- Simultaneous Play (No delay for others to take a turn, leading to more action and excitement)
- Easy to Setup/Store; Modest Weight and Size (Enjoy in your own home, recreation room, or workplace)
- Ongoing Learning and Skill Development for Reflexes,
Peripheral Vision, Hand-Eye Coordination, and Strategy.
Imagine you are playing on this table. You have to chose which steel balls to pick up,
which target ball to hit next, and what angle to hit that target ball. You have to adjust the angle of the chute and
release steel balls down the chute. You are doing all this while each ball on the field is moving
in a different direction and with a different speed, making this game "Totally Engaging!"
