Air hockey

type of game that involves the use of a puck and an air current

Air hockey is a tabletop game where two opposing players try to score goals using a small plastic Hockey puck. The table is usually low-friction.[1] Players use a small plastic "mallet" to both push the puck, and defend their goals from the puck. Air hockey was created by a group of Brunswick Billiards employees from 1969 to 1972.[2]
