Finger/Table Football

[lgkeeper]

Remember the game you used to play as a kid at the lunch table with a folded up piece of notebook paper? This guy recreated it for baseball, football, soccer, and golf. Pretty cool:

Definitely more advanced than when I was a kid.

Mini-sports were awesome as a kid.... pre-video game era. My brother and I used to play this game with that basketball game where you would flip the levers if the ball landed in your hole. Well, the levers broke on ours and we lost the balls, so we made due and took an aluminum foil ball and used our fingers to move the ball around the court and shoot, dunk, etc. It was a blast.

For baseball we would play on the carpet in our room setting up masking tape for baselines and putting baseball cards in their respective positions. You'd pitch (a wadded up piece of paper) by flicking it with your finger and you'd bat with a new, unsharpened pencil. The cool thing I remember is that b/c you were using a wadded up ball, the contour wasn't smooth, so sometimes it would mimic a curve ball..... was lots of fun!

...and don't play me in 3 coin hockey.... you will lose! lol

I did the same thing. However, I'm an only child so I played it by myself. Used marbles for the balls, though, instead of paper.
