I am sure the other ping-pong addicts agree with me that it feel meaningless at work without the game room.  Actually I don&#8217;t play foosball very much, only a session after lunch and after work.  I don&#8217;t like waiting at the table, so I would go back to work if there are more the one pair of players waiting.
