Abstract
The present invention concerns a hockey-type table game apparatus having a strung playing surface, a moveable playing piece and a bat for striking the playing piece. The table includes generally upstanding sides defining the boundaries of the playing surface. The playing surface is formed of a plurality of interwoven strings stretched taut between the table sides. The playing piece is generally cylindrical in shape with a side wall connected to planar upper and lower surfaces by chamfers. The bat includes a handle attached to a body similar in shape to the playing piece. The bat is utilized to strike the playing piece and propel it across the playing surface through an aperture formed in one of the table walls. The playing surface has a small contact area with the playing piece to reduce friction between them.
