A method of operating an electronic basketball scoreboard apparatus is disclosed. The method includes receiving a game parameter; operating a basketball game based upon the received game parameter; receiving a first indication of a ball passing through a first basketball hoop; receiving a second indication of a ball passing through a second basketball hoop; determining a first score of the basketball game based on the first indication from the first score sensor; determining a second score of the basketball game based on the second indication from the second score sensor; recording video of the basketball game; transmitting the recorded video; and transmitting the first score and the second score.

An octagon-shaped board game includes paddles and a low compression ball utilized for multi-participant gameplay. The game can be provided in two halves each having a topside, an underside, and an outer edge, and a hinge connecting and holding the two halves at the underside forming an octagon shape during gameplay, and enabling the two halves to fold against each other, the undersides facing each other, and forming a four-sided, half octagon shaped storage compartment within the underside of each halve once the halves are folded. Legs retractably mounted onto the underside of each halve can extend away from the underside to support the octagon-shaped foldable table above ground during gameplay and retract flat against the underside of their respective halve for storage prior to the octagon-shaped foldable table being folded.

An interactive electronic table tennis game is provided that has a table having first and second table portions that are foldable. There are first and second table portions that are structurally the same, and the second table portion has a flat top that is made of a hard material that is clear, transparent, or translucent such that light can pass through the hard material. The flat top is mounted on a frame that defines a plurality of compartments and lights or light emitting diodes that are positioned in the compartments. The frame also supports electronics. The electronics have audio pickups, converter microcontrollers, and a table tennis game computer. When a ball hits the first and second table portions light is emitted by the LEDs in that compartment. This makes the interactive electronic table tennis game fun to play and fun to watch, because everyone can see where the ball impacts.

A finger flicking football game comprises a waterproof triangular-shaped football for finger flicking and a pair of transportable game boards. Each game board comprises: a planar table surface having a plurality of apertures, each aperture designed to hold a cup sized for playing beer pong, and a pair of goal posts hinged from a rear end of each planar table surface. During game play, the players take turns flicking the football towards the cups in the other player's game board. Should their flicked football land in a cup, that player has scored a six point touchdown and can proceed to finger flick the football towards the other players goal posts for scoring an extra point.

A portable game includes a lower table forming a circular playing surface and an edge having a diameter D1, an upper table forming a circular playing surface and an edge having a diameter D2, wherein D1>D2. A vertical support member interconnects the lower and upper tables. Cup positioning markers are formed on said first and second table playing surfaces for locating said beverage cups thereon. An elongated barrier assembly extends vertically above said playing surface and horizontally bisects the upwardly facing playing surface. The vertical barrier is operative to define discrete opposed team play areas enabling a plurality of teams to play simultaneously on opposed sides of said barrier and to prevent horizontal travel of ping pong balls between opposing team play areas. The barrier is supported by at least one vertically elongated support stanchion slip-fit within the playing surfaces to enable selective removal and insertion thereof.
