foosball table

Rod-spinning bar game

A foosball table is a tabletop game simulating soccer, with rows of miniature players mounted on rotating rods.

Players grip the rod handles and spin or flick them to strike a small ball toward the opponent's goal.

The game is a fixture of recreation rooms, bars, and break rooms: There's a foosball table in the basement.
