Birkball 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. It's easy to setup and store. It's for adults, teens, and older children.

There are two teams, one at each end of the table. Play consists of rolling steel balls down steerable chutes across a field into target balls to knock those target balls into the other team's goal area, behind the raised barrier. Goalies launch scored target balls in their goal area resulting in continuous play.
