Played in Sweden since 1957, the Swedes have only recently let the rest of the World in on the secret of this amazingly cool desktop game....
Play Off is the official game at the World Championships in table hockey! That information will suffices for you to realise that the game has qualities far beyond the norm.
The development of the game began in 1957, and in recent years been crowned by
every player's movements having been optimised with the aid of virtuosi from the Swedish Table Hockey Association.
With its injection-moulded rink made for tough treatment, stable legs which
raise the game from the table and make it stand firmly, three-dimensional players with their own numbers on their backs, goal counters and Plexiglas shields on the rink's short sides, Play Off is well equipped to satisfy your stringent requirements.
Most tabletop are totally c**p, and involve hardly any skill at all, but Play off Ice Hockey could not be further from this classification...You could play this every day for 3 years and still improve, and find new trick to do....nice one Sweden!! Glenn Woodford, Portsmouth
I`m lucky, I got my first Stiga Hockey game nearly 30 years ago courtesy of a Swedish aunt. Fast and furious, it beat the scalextric set into a poor 2nd place in the fun stakes, and now they`ve improved it. Gone are the cheesey bits that didn`t really work and in come little extras, like a player access track behind the goals. This is a great game for all ages but be warned, the skill and dexterity required will give your kids a head start every time. Ian Jack, Bristol
