Foosball "live"!

Juniper Foo | Mar 13, 2008

Talk about an electrifying way to up the Foosball stakes. You gotta hand it to designer Elia Marinucci for livening the table game by adding magnets, audio commentary and, yes sirree, electric shocks! On either end of the Foosball table is a button which activates magnets along the field changing the ball's path.

Further challenges include corner pinball bumpers to knock the ball around like a regular pinball machine, and KICK IT! shock towers which generate an electric pulse if you manage to kick your ball hard across the "field". How this is administered isn't clear, as it's still a work-in-progress, while the site's content is somewhat lost in translation. Needless to say, avoid this if you are preggies or wearing a pacemaker. If the shock treatment doesn't knock you over, the excitement might.
