$250 Lego foosball table includes a whopping 22 minifigs, actually works

• 

  The Table Football set is smaller than a competition foosball table, but it's still fully functional.

The Lego Group has done a ton of intricate, video game-themed Lego sets in the last couple of years, from 2020's NES-and-TV replica to the love letter to Super Mario 64 to the detailed re-creation of the Atari 2600. But if you want a game you can actually play, today's announcement of a $249.99, 2,339-piece functional foosball table might be up your alley.

The Table Football set was inspired by the winner of a sports-themed contest that Lego ran last year; the foosball table submission got twice as many votes from fans as the next-best submission, so Lego decided to build its own take on the idea.

The end result is smaller than the original submission, which was large enough to accommodate the standard number of "players" on the field—10 on each side, plus a goalie for each team. The shipping version is a smaller but still fully functional tabletop version, with four players plus a goalie on each side.
