Abstract
Abstract This invention concerns a table top game capable of being played on a reversible table surface having a football playing field on one side and a rugby playing field on the opposite side. Each game is suitably marked with the necessary markings and preferably contains a green base to simulate the real game. Opposite ends of the game include goal posts that may either be fixed or removable, depending on the wishes of the user. A flexible reversible table surface is also described together with a fixed reversible table surface capable of being played on any supporting surface including the floor. Each of the games is played with a miniature ball that is kicked off by a flip of a player's finger.
