Durability
KICK Foosball Tables have fast built a name for themselves as a leading manufacturer of high quality yet reasonably priced foosball tables. They pride themselves on using only the finest materials, and confidently backs their products with a lifetime warranty.
As with all KICK tables, there is no issue with regards to durability of the KICK Squire Tabletop foosball table. The high quality materials mean that, despite its small size, it will not fall apart on you after just a few games as other lower priced tabletop games might.
Design and Aesthetics
The bright coloring of the Squire make it an attractive table to look at, and one which will be appreciated by kids. The blue external color, combined with the bright green playing surface and the also brightly-colored blue and red foosball men make for a foosball table that kids will be happy to be seen with.
The slightly curved external side walls add an extra perception of coolness, as well as providing more depth to the overall appearance of the table.
Gameplay
Let’s be honest, young children are not going to care too much about finesse or passing accuracy when they are playing foosball. Their primary concern at the age is whether the tale looks good, and whether playing on it is fun or not.
While it is true that you are unlikely to find many professional players practicing and honing their skills on the Squire, they are not the target market for this table. As it is aimed primarily at kids, it needs to satisfy those two conditions mentioned in the paragraph above.
The KICK Squire certainly fulfils both of those criteria. The visual appeal of the table has already been mentioned, and as far as enjoyable gameplay goes, the Squire certainly provides a fun-filled, fast game of foosball that can keep the kids happy for many hours. Shipped with two soccer-style foosball balls, the table has everything needed to begin playing.
Size
The KICK Squire Tabletop foosball table measures 33" (L) X 20" (W) X 8" (H) overall, with the actual playing surface measuring 31" long by 19" wide. Its small size and light weight in comparison to a full scale foosball table mean it is ideally suited for transporting to a child’s friends or relatives, letting them share in the fun.
It can easily fit on a table surface, including a standard coffee table (click here to see our reviews of foosball coffee tables). Unlike other foosball tables where the height is not adjustable and you are pretty much stuck with it if it is not right for you, one great advantage of a tabletop top game is that it can sit on any table you like. This makes it much easier to find a surface that is a more suitable height for you, which can help to prevent back ache and other injuries from playing foosball.
Who's It For?
There is no denying that primarily this is a foosball table aimed at children. Whilst its high build quality makes it slightly difficult to refer to the table as a toy, it is an item intended for children to play with and keep them amused and entertained.
That said, it is not intended exclusively for kids! Adults too can enjoy tabletop games. There is a misconception that small sized foosball tables like the Squire are exclusively for children, whilst expensive full-sized tables are solely intended for the grown ups to go anywhere near.
The reality is that a tabletop foosball game can quickly and easily be taken out in seconds, enjoyed by adults, then put back in a cupboard. If you really are concerned about what your friends may think about you having a foosball table in your house if you don’t have kids, then having one that can be easily stored away allows you to have that cheeky game without anyone finding out!
The bottom line is that foosball tables of any size can be enjoyed by anyone, but that they are typically more suited to one age group and marketed at one age group in particular.
Conclusion
The KICK Squire tabletop foosball table is a great choice for those looking for a small table that is quick and easy to set up and transport. Its vibrant looks, fast gameplay and sturdy construction (not forgetting KICK’s lifetime warranty), make this one of the top choices in its category, and one which continues to rack up positive five star reviews.
